Author:Jacobs, V; Anandjiwala, RD; John, Maya J; Mathew, AP; Oksman, KDate:Sep 2010This paper examines the preparation and properties of cellulose whiskers and chitin whiskers reinforced chitosan nanocomposite fibres by the process of electrospinning. A dispersion of cellulose and chitin whiskers in chitosan solution was ...Read more
Author:Gayen, TK; Pityana, Sisa L; Akinlabi, E; Majumdar, JDDate:Sep 2023The present study concerns the development of titanium carbide (TiC) dispersed titanium matrix composite by laser surface processing of titanium with titanium and carbon (in the weight ratio of 90:10 and 50:50). Laser surface processing has ...Read more
Author:Turpie, DWF; Robinson, GADate:Sep 1978A small quantity of the best grade of pigmented wool available in South Africa, sometimes referred to as "merino black" was processed on the worsted system and converted into fabric.Read more
Author:Strydom, MA; Van der Merwe, JPDate:Sep 1983In part II of this series, work concerned with the processing behavior of sorted karakul in five different trade types was described.Read more
Author:Strydom, MADate:May 1980Five lots of sorted karakul, varying in seed content and mean fibre length, were processed into worsted tops and the raw fibre properties and processing performance recorded.Read more
Author:Matabola, KP; De Vries, AR; Luyt, AS; Kumar, RDate:Jul 2011The dynamic mechanical properties of single polymer composites of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) reinforced with electrospun PMMA nanofibers of different diameters are reported. The effect of electrospinning parameters on the morphology and ...Read more
Author:Jayaramudu, J; Agwuncha, SC; Ray, SS; Sadik, ER; Varada Rajulu, AVDate:2015In the present work, natural Polyalthiacerasoide woven fabrics were extracted from the bark of the tree and using these woven fabrics/glass fibre as reinforcements and epoxy as matrix the hybrid composites were prepared by the hand lay-up ...Read more
Author:Thierron, W; Hunter, LDate:Sep 1983Cotton/polyester yarns were spun on a DREF III spinning machine and their properties compared with those of the corresponding yarns spun on ring and rotor machines.Read more
Author:Thierron, WDate:May 1985Polyester/wool yarns were spun successfully on a Dref III friction spinning machine and a ring spinning machine. The Dref II machine provided considerably higher production rates than the ring spinning machine and also involved fewer processing ...Read more

Author:Sevenster, PGDate:1958The experimental conditions in such investigations were usually chosen to stimulate those encountered in practice and generally do not lend themselves to the study of the fundamental processes involved in the absorption of gasses and vapors ...Read more
Author:Gbadeyan, OJ; Adali, S; Bright, G; Sithole, Bishop B; Awogbemi, ODate:May 2020The present study focuses on the mechanical and absorption properties of composites reinforced by achatina fulica snail (S-shell) and eggshell particles (E-shell). Epoxy composites of snail and eggshell particles were prepared separately with ...Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:Sep 1987The necessity of totally effective carbonising of raw wool and mohair is questioned, and an alternative treatment, employing milder, less effective carbonising conditions supplemented by traditional unsophisticated carding (and perhaps combing) ...Read more
Author:Turpie, DWFDate:Mar 1988The effects of a mild (partial) carbonising treatment on the characteristics of card slivers and slubbings produced on the woollen system of manufacture from various lambs wool lots are reported.Read more
Author:Kfir, R; Hilner, C; Du Preez, M; Bateman, BDate:1995The levels of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts in 650 environmental water samples ere investigated. Cysts and oocysts were found in all types of water tested. The presence of Giardia cysts exceeded Cryptosporidium oocysts both in the ...Read more
