Acrylic fibers are used as a textile medium for high quality and high performance yarns and fabrics, and also as the main supply of precursors for carbon fibers.
A high-performance yarn electrode material, cotton/graphene/polyaniline, is synthesized by coating primary fiber cores inside cotton yarns with graphene sheets and followed by further growing polyaniline nanowire array layers through in situ polymerization of aniline.
Both of these techniques can be performed upon standard, industrial knitting machines with high-performance yarns such as glass and carbon.
High performance filament yarns of Kevlar and Polyethylene were used to produce knitted and woven fabric for a comparative study of their cut resistance behavior.
To better comprehend the effect of material on the cut resistance behavior, Shin et al. (2003, 2006) and Mayo et al. (2014) characterized the cut resistance behavior of high performance multifilament yarns and single fibers.
High performance two-ply yarn supercapacitors are fabricated by electrodeposition of transition metal oxide pseudocapacitive materials on carbon nanotube/stainless steel (CNT/SS) core spun yarns.
Aramid fibres are used in high performance fabrics and yarns for dynamic loading applications, because of their high strength and stiffness, and good energy absorption.
This is driven by a desire to translate the exceptional mechanical properties of individual CNT shells to achieve high performance macroscopic fibers and yarns.
Although other guest materials can be used to obtain high performance tensile and torsional hybrid yarn muscles (some of which are more suitable for use in extremely low and high temperature ranges), the presently described results are for prototypical hybrid muscles that use paraffin wax guest.
To study the fatigue properties of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with textile reinforced concrete (TRC), which consisted of a hybrid textile made from carbon and E-glass yarns and high performance concrete, after sustaining load corrosion, three RC beams without TRC and four RC beams with TRC were designed.
Samples of yarns from these specimens were extracted and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometric detection.
