Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing biodegradable fibers on the basis of a silane compound, said silane compound being crosslinked during production and, at least to some extent, an organic acid being incorporated into the forming crosslinked structure via covalent bonds and/or contributing to the crosslinking. The present invention also relates to the fibers that can be produced by the method according to the invention and to the use thereof.
Abstract:
Provided are a method of preparing a high softening point pitch and the high softening point pitch prepared thereby, in which a polyene radical intermediate is formed, and an alkylaromatic radial material is linearly linked to the polyene radical intermediate in a benzyl or methylene form to be polymerized. The method includes performing heat treatment by adding a compound, which is able to a polyene radical intermediate, to 1- to 4-ring alkylaromatic condensates to produce a basic pitch, and performing vacuum heat treatment for the basic pitch.
Abstract:
The use of biomaterials, such as viruses and virus-like particles, to form nanostructures is generally disclosed. For instance, rod-like viruses can be used to form composite nanofibers that are fixed together in a head-to-tail assembly by a polymer. Also, 2-dimensional nanostructures formed from crosslinked viruses assembled in a single, film-like layer are generally disclosed. Porous gels having controllable pore size through the use of virus particles are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a polymer fibre with improved dispersibility, a method for producing said fibre and the use of said fibre.The polymer fibre according to the invention comprises at least one synthetic polymer and 0.1 and 20 wt. % of a silicone. The polymer forming the fibre forms a solid dispersion medium at room temperature (25° C.) for the silicone present in solid form also at room temperature (25° C.) which forms the more disperse phase.The polymer fibre according to the invention possesses an improved dispersibility and is therefore suitable for producing aqueous suspensions which are used, for example, in the formation of textile fabrics, e.g. nonwovens.
Abstract:
A plant and method for making continuous yarns made of silicone material comprises at least an extrusion station, into which the material is introduced in an amorphous condition, and extrusion means which cause the material to exit from the extrusion station along an extrusion axis. The plant also comprises a vulcanization station, located downstream of the extrusion station, at a determinate distance therefrom, in which the continuous yarn is vulcanized in a direction of treatment. The plant also comprises a drawing unit, disposed downstream of the vulcanization station.
Abstract:
A problem of the invention is to provide a colored organic fiber that has a deep color and excellent flame retardancy, a cloth and garments each composed of the foregoing organic fiber, and a method for producing a cloth. To solve this problem, a colored organic fiber having a content of a carrier agent of 1.8% by mass or less relative to the fiber mass is provided. A cloth or garments are obtained, if desired.
Abstract:
Novel, simple methods are presented directed to the synthesis of aligned nanofibers of polyaniline and substituted derivatives on a substrate. The production of these fibers is achieved via various methods by controlling the concentration of aniline monomer or substituted aniline derivatives or an oxidant in the reaction medium and maintaining said concentration at a level much lower than conventional polyaniline synthesis methods. Methods are disclosed relating to the use of a permeable membrane to control the release of a monomer and/or oxidant as well as a bulk polymerization method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a hollow filament (F) based on one or several molten or dissolved hyperbranched polymers (P) and potentially one or several further polymers (FP), characterized in that the molten or dissolved hyperbranched polymer (P) or the mixture of the hyperbranched polymer (P) with the further polymer (FP) is passed through one or several spinnerets (S), wherein the ratio between the spinneret die-length (L) and the die-channel (Delta-D) is between 0.1 and 9.5. The process can be applied for the preparation of hyperbranched polyethersulfone (HPES) hollow filaments.
Abstract:
A plant for making continuous yarns (30) made of silicon material comprises at least an extrusion station (12), into which the material is introduced in an amorphous condition, and extrusion means (15) which cause the material to exit from the extrusion station (12) along an extrusion axis (D). The plant also comprises a vulcanization station (16), located downstream of the extrusion station (12), at a determinate distance (“L”) therefrom, in which the continuous yarn (30) is vulcanized in a direction of treatment (T). The plant also comprises a drawing unit (18), disposed downstream of the vulcanization station (16).
