Author: Anandjiwala, R Date: Oct 2012 Over the past few years, the CSIR has made a significant investment into fibres and biocomposite research and infrastructure at its Port Elizabeth campus. The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has invested approximately R10.8 million ... Read more
Effect of amphiphilic coupling agent on heat flow and dielectric properties of flax – polypropylene composites

Author: John, Maya J ; Tlili, R ; Anandjiwala, RD ; Boudenne, A ; Ibos, L Date: Mar 2012 The study on heat transport in composites is of fundamental importance in engineering design and for tailoring thermal and mechanical behaviour of materials. In this study, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of flax reinforced ... Read more
Effect of chemical modification on properties of hybrid fibre biocomposites

Author: Jacob John, Maya ; Francis, B ; Varughese, KT ; Thomas, S Date: Feb 2008 The effects of chemical modification of fiber surface in sisal–oil palm reinforced natural rubber green composites have been studied. Composites were prepared using fibers treated with varying concentrations of sodium hydroxide solution and ... Read more
Energy transfer during the hydroentanglement of fibres

Author: Moyo, D Date: Oct 2012 The hydroentanglement of fibres is achieved by the energy of the high-velocity waterjets. This method is highly energy intensive and costly, hence the attempt to study the energy transfer during the process. Generally, the amount of energy ... Read more
Formation of tungsten oxide nanostructures by laser pyrolysis: stars, fibres and spheres

Author: Govender, M ; Shikwambana, L ; Mwakikunga, Bonex W ; Sideras-Haddad, E ; Erasmus, RM ; Forbes, A Date: Jun 2010 This report focuses on the production of multi-phase WO3 and WO3-x (where x could vary between 0.2 and 0.33) nanostructures synthesized by CO2-laser pyrolysis technique at varying laser wavelengths (9.22-10.82 mm) and power densities (17-110 ...

A novel method for rapid extraction of biofibres from waste chicken feathers

Author: Kakonke, Grace ; Tesfaye, Tamrat ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Ntunka, M Date: Feb 2021 South Africa is the biggest chicken meat producer in Southern Africa and generates about 258 million kg of waste feathers. Although some of this waste is beneficiated into animal feed and fertiliser there are problems in adequate digestion ... Read more
Production and characterization of cotton-chicken feather fibres blended absorbent fabrics

Author: Kakonke, Grace ; Tesfaye, Tamrat ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Ntunka, M Date: Jan 2019 Nonwoven fabrics are mostly used in modern disposable hygienic products where their primary purpose is to offer excellent absorbency as well as comfort to consumers. Scientists, both on the academic and industrial level, have faced numerous ... Read more
Textiles: Some technocal information and data III: Low flammable and other high performance fibres

Author: Hunter, Lawrance Date: Jul 1978 What it meant by the flammability of a textile material? What exactly are the meaning of such terms as "non-burning", "fire resistant", "self-extinquishing","non-combustible","flameproof",etc? Unfortunately the flammability properties to which ... Read more
Water flow through the polypropylene-based geotextiles.

Author: Patanaik, A ; Anandjiwala, RD Date: Jun 2008 This article presents the results from a study on the cross-plane water flow through the needle punched nonwoven geotextiles produced from polypropylene fibers. Different types of nonwoven geotextiles are produced by varying the processing ... Read more
