Bone tunnel enlargement has been troubling the clinical adoption of braided artificial
ligaments for decades, to which mechanical and tribological performance promotion shall be …

In the present work, solid-state drawing of commercial PLA-based extruded filaments was
investigated. Two different filaments were used: one based on neat PLA and the other based …

In the present paper, a response surface model has been introduced to predict the
geometrical parameters of heat set polypropylene pile yarns. The input factors of the …

We present the first demonstration of a general method for the chemical characterization of
small surface features at high magnification via simultaneous collection of mass …

In this work, mechanical and structural parameters related to the optical properties of
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers drawn at hot multistage have been investigated. The …

Spacer fabrics can be produced by using weaving or nonwoven techniques besides warp
and weft knitting processes. Warp knitted spacer fabrics are produced by using polyester …

Purpose Thermoplastic polymer fabrics are normally heat set to make them dimensionally
stable. These fabrics in garment panel form may again be exposed to heat during the …

Polyethylene is one of the most commonly used polymer materials. Even though linear low
density polyethylene (LLDPE) has better mechanical properties than other kinds of …

In this paper, carpet comfort has been evaluated from the subjective and objective point of
views in relation to the pin-point effect of pile yarns of carpets. For doing judgment on the …

Pluta microscope used to throw light on the effect of heat treatment time on the different
properties of poly (ethylene terephthalate) PET fibers. PET fibers were annealed at times …
