POLYMER FIBER [49 records]

Record 1 2024-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Textile Industries
  • Chemistry
CONT

Some textile chemists are less oriented toward manufacturing processes and more focused toward fiber technologies. The study of textile chemistry begins with the knowledge of fibers themselves-both natural and synthetic.... Textile chemistry can generally be divided into three major areas : dyeing and finishing chemistry, fiber and polymer chemistry, and a newer area that intersects with materials science and involves the blending of textile materials. In the textile business, chemists work in R&D [research and development], process development, process modification, technical services, environmental testing, and dyeing and finishing operations.

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences
DEF

Method of immobilization of enzymes by entrapment within the microcavities of synthetic fibres.

CONT

The term entrapment has been used to cover a range of immobilization techniques. O’Driscoll has chosen to distinguish between those methods, where a gel or membrane is formed around an enzyme by polymerization and those methods where the enzyme is retained in a preformed polymer by subsequent formation of a cross-linked network. Microencapsulation and fiber entrapment are clearly other examples of this immobilization technique.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciences biologiques
CONT

En dehors de l'équipe de DINELLI, en Italie, qui a préparé de nombreuses enzymes immobilisées par inclusion dans des fibres d'acétate de cellulose, les enzymes immobilisées à structure non membranaire se présentent sous forme de particules de taille, de porosité et de propriétés mécaniques très variables. Ce sont les caractéristiques de ces particules qui conditionnent la mise en œuvre. Le choix du support pourra être ainsi différent selon que l'on envisage l'emploi de ces systèmes à petite échelle ou dans un but industriel.

Record 10 2005-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
CONT

Gel spinning is a special process used to obtain high strength or other special fiber properties. The polymer is not in a true liquid state during extrusion. Not completely separated, as they would be in a true solution, the polymer chains are bound together at various points in liquid crystal form. This produces strong inter-chain forces in the resulting filaments that can significantly increase the tensile strength of the fibers. In addition, the liquid crystals are aligned along the fiber axis by the shear forces during extrusion. The filaments emerge with an unusually high degree of orientation relative to each other, further enhancing strength.

OBS

The process can also be described as dry-wet spinning, since the filaments first pass through air and then are cooled further in a liquid bath. Some high-strength polyethylene and aramid fibers are produced by gel spinning.

CONT

The non-woven geotextiles, either needle-formed or melt-bonded, were initially picked through a quasitheoretical analysis.... In the melt-bonded fabrics, the spacing and opening sizes are controlled by the random overlaps of the web prior to melt bonding. This results in opening size and spacing ranges. Visual examination of these fabrics indicates that many of the spacing tend to be smaller than the openings. Logically this would be advantageous for drainage filtration applications because it is theoretically impossible to block each and every pore.

CONT

Melt-bonded Process. These fabrics consist of continuous filaments or long staple fibers that are melt bonded together at filament or fiber crossover points. The resultant fabrics are rather tough and compact in appearance.... The bonding methods include :(1) homofil bonding, in which all filaments are composed of a single polymer type, but some of the filaments have different melting characteristics. Bonding is achieved by a high-temperature calendering operation, accomplished by passing fabric between two hot rollers; and(2) heterofil bonding, in which some of the filaments comprise two types of polymers having different melting points(heterofilaments), while others have only one polymer(homofilaments).

Tous les traitements [...] évoqués dans le paragraphe "non-tissés voie sèche" sont applicables aux surfaces non-tissées obtenues par voie fondue [...] Les vitesses de production des voiles par la technique voie fondue n'autorisent pas des traitements de liage trop élaborés [...] Le procédé "voie fondue", par l'intermédiaire d'astuces de filature permet l'incorporation au filament élémentaire d'une matière additionnelle thermofusible. On est en présence d'un filament bi-composant. Il est également possible de réaliser des nappes au moyen de 2 types de filaments en proportion variable dont l'un est plus sensible aux effets thermiques. On parle alors de filaments "bi-homogène".
