Improving the flame retardancy of PET fabric by photo-induced grafting

Photo-induced surface grafting with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as monomer in association with a pad-curing treatment by using a flame retardant (FR) solution which contains 1-hydroxy ethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) and sulfamic acid (H₂NSO₃H) has been used to improve the fire performance of PET fabric in this study. The effects of initiator concentration, monomer concentration and the irradiation time on the grafting percentage were investigated. The chemical structure of grafted surface of the PET fabric was characterized by an attenuated total reflection-infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. The fire performance was evaluated by the LOI and the vertical flammability tests, and the results indicate that the photo grafting treatment could improve the flame retardancy and dripping resistance of PET fabric. Thermal behaviour of treated PET fabric samples was investigated by thermogravimetric (TG) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). The morphology of the sample char residue was also investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Determination of Young's modulus of epoxy coated polyethylene micro-cantilever using phase-shift shadow moiré method

Young′s moduli of various epoxy coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) micro-cantilevers were determined from the deflection results obtained using the phase-shift shadow moiré (PSSM) method. The filler materials for epoxy coatings were aluminum and graphite powders that were mixed with epoxy at various percentages. Young′s moduli were calculated from theory based on the deflection results. The PET micro-cantilever coated with aluminum-epoxy coating showed increasing value of Young′s modulus when the ratios of the aluminum-epoxy were increased. The graphite-epoxy coating on the PET micro-cantilever also showed the same trend. The experimental results also show that Young′s modulus of the graphite-epoxy coating is higher than aluminum-epoxy coating in comparison at the same mixing ratio.     

Enzymatic Methods for the Site-Specific Radiolabeling of Targeting Proteins

Site-specific conjugation of proteins is currently required to produce homogenous derivatives for medicine applications. Proteins derivatized at specific positions of the polypeptide chain can actually show higher stability, superior pharmacokinetics, and activity in vivo, as compared with conjugates modified at heterogeneous sites. Moreover, they can be better characterized regarding the composition of the derivatization sites as well as the conformational and activity properties. To this aim, several site-specific derivatization approaches have been developed. Among these, enzymes are powerful tools that efficiently allow the generation of homogenous protein–drug conjugates under physiological conditions, thus preserving their native structure and activity. This review will summarize the progress made over the last decade on the use of enzymatic-based methodologies for the production of site-specific labeled immunoconjugates of interest for nuclear medicine. Enzymes used in this field, including microbial transglutaminase, sortase, galactosyltransferase, and lipoic acid ligase, will be overviewed and their recent applications in the radiopharmaceutical field will be described. Since nuclear medicine can benefit greatly from the production of homogenous derivatives, we hope that this review will aid the use of enzymes for the development of better radio-conjugates for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.     

Solvent‐induced crystallization in poly(ethylene terephthalate) during mass transport

Solvent transport in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and related phase transformation were investigated. The data of mass sorption were analyzed according to Harmon's model for Case I (Fickian), Case II (swelling), and anomalous transport. This transport process in PET is accompanied by the induced crystallization of the original amorphous state. The transformation was examined by wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, small‐angle X‐ray scattering, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. During this process, the matrix is under a strain state that causes different kinetic paths of crystallization as compared with that by thermal annealing. This state of strain assists the development of the solvent‐induced crystallization. The model regarding crystallization was proposed in terms of the study of long period L, the crystal thickness l_c, and the thickness of amorphous layer l_a obtained from the one‐dimensional correlation function and interface distribution function. Different kinetic paths were discovered for different crystallization processes. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 40: 1444–1453, 2002

Experimental constants, characterizing the process of a plasma polymer modification

In the following paper, empirical constants are determined by a plasma-chemical model and experimental data of the wetting contact angle. The constants characterize the alteration of the contact angle as a function of the time of the polymer treatment and the kind of the plasma-creating gas. The presented equations of the model connect the contact angle with the empirical constants for arbitrary time intervals of treatment and arbitrary percentage content of the researched gas mixtures and gasses. The chemical rate constants, which describe the process of the plasma modification of the polymer material, are determined.     

Behaviors of flow mechanisms and heat transfer of non-Newtonian fluids through a spinneret

This investigation examines non-Newtonian flow mechanisms and heat transfer characteristics for a micro spinneret. The working fluid, Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is the raw material of micro fiber, and a large-scale experimental test model was designed to visualize the complex viscous flow system in the micro spinneret. To visualize the complex convective flow system, an experimental test model was constructed, using glycerin instead of PET. The related parameters of PET were compared with those of glycerin. The power law correlates the shear strain with PET viscosity at various temperatures. The pressure distribution along the flow direction was measured and the flow pattern was visualized using polyethylene (PE) powder of 20–40 m. Similar configurations were calculated for micro spinneret physical parameters to determine the thermal flow characteristics. The Reynolds number in the test model is not less than 10^–2. In the non-Newtonian PET working fluid of practical micro spinneret, flows with Re = 10⁴ to 10^–2 are in the same low Reynolds number flow regime. Therefore, the working fluid is expected to have the same flow characteristic. A numerical solution covering the range of approximately Re = 10^–4 at PET confirms that the flow characteristics of glycerin are constant for Re = 1.228 × 10^–2. The Peclet number in the test model can be adjusted to a value similar to that in the micro spinneret. The flow visualization was compared with that of the numerical solution, and the friction factor and Nusselt number in the micro spinneret were analyzed. Finally, numerical results and friction factor with various exit angles of micro spinneret in a triangular zone flow system were also summarized.     

Comparison of copolymer emulsions of fluorine and siloxane‐containing acrylates with core–shell structure for water‐repellent cotton fabrics coatings

This paper described the synthesis of copolymer emulsions of fluorine and siloxane‐containing acrylates for water‐repellent cotton fabrics coatings. Chemical composition, morphology structure, and properties of the latex copolymers were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Effects of water‐repellent functional monomers (R_f) on surface morphology, water contact angle, and water‐repellent properties of the coated fabric surface were also studied. The results indicated that R_f greatly influenced molecular mass distribution of the latex copolymers, the molecular aggregation states and orientation of R_f on the coated fabric surface, and water‐repellency of coated cotton fabrics.
