A quantitative method to compare the effect of thermal aging on the mechanical performance of fire protective fabrics
Download2018-09-04
Dolez, Patricia I., Namrata, Tomer S., Malayati, Yassine
A method has been proposed to provide a means to compare in a quantitative and comprehensive way the mechanical performance of fire protective fabrics under long‐term thermal exposure. These high‐performance materials experience a reduction in their performance overtime due to the various...

Hoque, Md. Saiful, Dolez, Patricia I.
Firefighters, workers in the oil and gas industry, electricians, and military personnel, for example, wear protective clothing made of fire-resistant fabrics constructed from high-performance fibers (1). For firefighters’ protective clothing, the outer shell is generally a blend of different...

Braun, Christina, Nam, Seo Lin, de la Mata, Paulina A., Harynuk, James J., Chung, Hyun-Joong, Dolez, Patricia I.
Accelerated hydrothermal aging of a commercial polyimide film was studied via ultimate tensile strength and FTIR spectroscopy. The significance of hydrolysis of the imide functional groups was determined using chemometric analysis of ATR-FTIR data. The results suggest the potential of polyimide...

Low-Cost and High-Speed Fabrication of Camouflage-Enabling Microfluidic Devices using Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene
Download2023-08-25
Sun, Xiaoruo, Asad, Asad, Ali, Mehnab, Morita, Luka, Dolez, Patricia I., Hogan, James D., Sameoto, Dan
This study demonstrates a multi-spectrum camouflage control via microfluidic methods within a thermally and visibly semi-transparent polymer (polyethylene). Microfluidic devices have a high potential for achieving multiband camouflage including both visible and infrared (IR) spectrums because...

Smart Textiles for Visible and IR Camouflage Application: State-of-the-Art and Microfabrication Path Forward
Download2021-06-30
Degenstein, Lauren M., Sameoto, Dan, Hogan, James D., Asad, Asad, Dolez, Patricia I.
Protective textiles used for military applications must fulfill a variety of functional requirements, including durability, resistance to environmental conditions and ballistic threats, all while being comfortable and lightweight. In addition, these textiles must provide camouflage and...

Thermal Effusivity Assessment of Sportswear Fabrics in the Dry State: Stacked and Air-Hoop Methods
Download2024-01-01
Islam, Md. Rashedul, Gholamreza, Farzan, Golovin, Kevin, Dolez, Patricia I.
Thermal effusivity is an essential fabric characteristic that influences the perception of coolness or warmth due to the exchange of thermal energy between the human body and the cloth layer when they come into contact. In the current study, thermal effusivity measurements were conducted on a...
