Investigation of the Accelerated Thermal Aging Behavior of Polyetherimide and Lifetime Prediction at Elevated Temperature
Download2023-01-01
Cho C., Nam S.L., de la Mata P.A., Harynuk J.J., Elias A., Chung H-J, Dolez P.I.
Fire-protective clothing are manufactured using heat and flame resistant fibers that are made of high-performance polymers. These polymers exhibit a gradual reduction in their performance after long-term exposure under various aging conditions. This study investigates the thermal aging behavior...

Schramm, David G., Futris, Ted, G., Galovan, Adam M., Allen, Kimberly
Child welfare professionals (CWPs) have historically been ignored as a potential delivery system of relationship and marriage education (RME). Based on a sample of 1015 CWPs from two states, the current study shows that CWPs believe promoting healthy couple and marital relationships is relevant...

Mediation and ANCOVA Models to Study the Influence of Solvent Retting Traits and Plant Physique on Bast Fiber Yield and Retting Time
Download2022-01-01
Ikra Iftekhar Shuvo, Md. Saiful Hoque, Lovely K. M. Khandakar
The study aims in applying two statistical tools to analyze the retting behavior of plant stems for extracting bast fibers for industrial applications. At first, a mediation model is employed to investigate the first hypothesis of this work that involves studying the color response of the retted...

Odor in textiles: A review of evaluation methods, fabric characteristics, and odor control technologies
Download2022-01-01
McQueen, Rachel H, Vaezafshar, Sara
During use, textile items can develop unpleasant odors that arise from many different sources, both internal and external to the human body. Laundering is not always effective at removing odors, with odor potentially building up over time, due to incomplete removal of soils and odorous compounds,...

Retention and release of odorants in cotton and polyester fabrics following multiple soil/wash procedures
Download2022-01-01
Abdul-Bari, M Mukhtar, McQueen, Rachel H, de la Mata, A Paulina, Batcheller, Jane C, Harynuk, James J
Odorous clothing can be an annoying and unpleasant problem particularly when odorants are not effectively removed via laundering. Cotton and polyester knit fabrics were soiled with three selected odorants, representing different polarities and lipophilicities (i.e. octanoic acid, 2-nonenal,...
