Reinforced polymer composites have played an ascendant role in a variety of applications for their high meticulous strength and modulus the fiber may be synthetic or natural used to serves as reinforcement in reinforced composites. Glass and other synthetic fiber reinforced composites consists high meticulous strength but their fields of applications are restrained because of their high cost of...

This paper develops a bi-directional prediction approach to predict the production parameters and performance of differential fibers based on neural networks and a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm. The proposed method does not require accurate description and calculation for the multiple processes, different modes and complex conditions of fiber production. The bi-directional prediction a...

As people in the 21st century become increasingly environmentally aware, environmentally friendly products have come into focus. As such, environmentally friendly textiles and eco-textiles have become an international trend in research and development. Poly(lactic acid) fiber, which is biodegradable, holds much promise, but it is difficult to deep dye. This study used chitosan, succine anhydrid...

PURPOSE To assess the value of endovascular packing of intracranial bifurcation aneurysms with commercially available coils. METHODS Carotid bifurcation aneurysms were surgically created in 12 New Zealand rabbits with subsequent assessment of the extent of aneurysm ablation following endovascular packing with polyester fiber-coated platinum coils. RESULTS Follow-up angiograms obtained from ...

Microplastics in the environment are a subject of intense research as they pose a potential threat to marine organisms. Plastic fibers from textiles have been indicated as a major source of this type of contaminant, entering the oceans via wastewater and diverse non-point sources. Their presence is also documented in terrestrial samples. In this study, the amount of microfibers shedding from sy...

Superhydrophobic materials, with surfaces possessing permanent or metastable non-wetted states, are of interest for a number of biomedical and industrial applications. Here we describe how electrospinning or electrospraying a polymer mixture containing a biodegradable, biocompatible aliphatic polyester (e.g., polycaprolactone and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)), as the major component, doped with a...

Fly ash with different weight ratios was used as a reinforcing material for the composite (polyester + 5% short carbon fiber) to make hybrid material. The ratio of fiber polymer constant, and fly were (5%, 10%, 15%)wt. mechanical properties studied compared without addition ash. results showed an increase in tensile strength modulus elasticity by increasing percentage ash, while there no signif...
