Influence of surface tension and concentration of a non-ionic surfactant on the barrier effectiveness of a microporous polypropylene fabric for pesticide protective clothing
… characteristics were evaluated from the drop absorbency test, a modified Draves test, the spreading coefficient (S<sub>c</sub>) values and, by inference, from a Zisman plot. As surfactant concentration increased, γ decreased, and then remained relatively steady past the 0.0134 percent …

Commercialization of cryptomelane-type manganese oxide (OMS-2) nanowire paper oil sorbent
… of this technology are in its high selective absorbency towards oil, high performance over cost metric and its high thermal stability. Its thermal stability enables a thermal desorption type process to regenerate and recycle the sorbent for reuse. This translates into further differentiation …

The behaviour of liquid movement in three dimensional weft knitted spacer fabrics
… Materials were evaluated for high absorbency using standard methods. Liquid spreading on the surface of the fabric was measured using conventional test methods, however to map spatial liquid movement a new test method was designed. This method used arrays of conductive sensors, with …

Green synthesis and characterization of gold nanoparticles from capparis sepiaria-tabernaemontana elegans cocktail and investigation of their biological effects in vitro.
… antimicrobial properties, gas barrier, and absorbency. these nms might fall into two categories: those with inherent wound-healing properties and those serving as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents. gold nanoparticles (aunps) have more consideration due to their stability, oxidation …

Sound absorption performance of EFBMF panel for building acoustic material
… were used ranging from 10 mm to 50 mm thickness. Absorbency of EFBMF was measured following ISO 10534 Part 2, while selected panels were further tested for its practical performance following ISO 354 and classified as a building absorber according to the ISO 11654. Analyses were done to signifies …

Reconstituted collagen fibres for tissue engineering applications
… properties, such as high surface area, softness, absorbency and ease of fabrication into many product forms, biomaterial based on reformed collagen fibres have been used as a substrate for nerve regeneration, tendon and ligament replacement, wound dressing applications and suture materials. …

The evaluation and optimization of sensorial comfort
… fibre type, and not the fabric or garment. Fibre absorbency is thought to be very important for clothing comfort, but wet cling is not thought to be an annoying sensation in comparison to other skin sensations, and the appearance of the fabric has an over-riding influence on the acceptance of a …

The characterisation of alginate systems for biomedical applications
… systems, in order to improve properties such as absorbency, gel strength and calcium release (to assess the haemocompatibility) in a simulated serum solution. A greater calcium and guluronic acid content was found to improve the gel strength of alginate samples, but decrease the swelling ability. …

Exogenous γ-Glutamyl Cycle Compound Supplementation to In Vitro Maturation Medium and the Effects on Subsequent In Vitro Fertilization and Culture Parameters of Porcine Oocytes and Their Impact on Embryo Viability
… determined using a colorimetric assay based on absorbency. The supplements that elicited significantly (P < 0.05) the greatest increase in GSH concentrations were 3.3 mM cysteine, 1.0 mM L-glutamate, 3.3 mM L-α-aminobutyrate, and 3.3 mM L-α-aminobutyrate with 25 25 μM β-mercaptoethanol. In Exp. …

Bath sponge aquaculture: aspects of culture and quality
… modulus of elasticity, modulus of resilience, absorbency, and water retention efficiency. These were measured for R. odorabile and Coscinoderma n. sp. and three commercial species. There were significant differences between species for all quality parameters creating a unique profile for each …

Characterization and Role of Porosity in Knitted Fabrics
Knitted fabrics are the preferred structures in athletic wear in which demand for comfort is a key requirement. Heat and liquid sweat generation during athletic activities must be transported out and dissipated to the atmosphere. A key property influencing such behaviors is porosity. Two parameters …
