Towards Textile-Based Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Nanocomposites: Melt Spun Polypropylene-Montmorillonite Nanocomposite Fibers

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer, Martyn Douglas Wakeman, Chrystèle Houphouet-Boigny Favre

The present work is aimed at assessing the feasibility of integrating thermoplastic polypropylene nanocomposite matrices into conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on hybrid textiles that incorporate both the matrix and glass-fiber yarns, in order ...

Scanning and transmission electron microscopy for evaluation of order/disorder in bone structure

Philippe Buffat, Elena Suvorova Buffat

A comparative characterization of the structure of normal and abnormal (osteoporotic) human lumbar and thoracic vertebrae samples was carried out to reveal the type of possible disorder. Samples from the bone fragments extracted during the surgery due to v ...

Performance and characterization of Ag-cotton and Ag/TiO2 loaded textiles during the abatement of E. coli

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Danièle Laub, Hans Jörg Mathieu

The bacterial inactivation of Escherichia coli on Ag–cotton textiles were investigated under different experimental conditions with novel Ag-nanoparticles fixed on cotton textiles. The evaluation of the bactericide performance of the Ag–cotton was compared ...

Self-Cleaning cotton textiles surfaces modified by photoactive SiO2/TiO2 coating

Lioubov Kiwi, Danièle Laub

The photocatalytic activity of TiO2–SiO2-coated cotton textiles was investigated through the self-cleaning of red wine stains. It was shown that a TiO2–SiO2 species could be produced at temperatures of 100 °C with acceptable photo-activity on non-heat resi ...

Surfactant-mediated interaction of fragrances with cellulose model surfaces

Mahtab Varnous

Odor perception may be considered from different perspectives: the physicochemical properties of odorants and target surfaces of interest, the biological aspects of electing odorant molecules by odorant receptors and their related downstream cellular signa ...

Graded glass mat reinforced polypropylene

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Joëlle Wolfrath

In the impregnation process, when pressure is applied, the dry fiber preform is first compressed and then unloads as the matrix flows within the pores. It has been shown earlier that for glass mat-reinforced thermoplastic (GMT) materials, the time to provi ...
