废旧涤／棉混纺织物NIRS定性分析模型的建立与外部验证

利用近红外光谱技术对354个废旧涤/棉混纺织物进行研究,通过偏最小二乘法（partial least squares ,PLS ）和定性鉴别系数建立了不同光谱特征的涤/棉混纺织物近红外定性分析模型。染色涤/棉混纺织物N IR光谱主要有两大类,一类具有正常涤/棉光谱特征,另一类光谱由于样本中染料、颜料和消光剂等化学助剂的影响,使光谱谱线成斜线,失去其光谱特征。如以全部样本建模,模型识别率较低。故将样本分为两类：斜线光谱样本和正常光谱样本,分别建立NIR定性分析模型。NIR定性分析模型建立后,根据验证结果分别对建模的谱区、预处理方法和主因子数进行优化,以提高模型的稳健性和可靠性。结果表明,样本分别建模后,模型的识别率大大提高,用验证集样本进行内部验证,正常光谱和斜线光谱所建模型的识别率均达99％,其校正集相关系数 RC 均为0.991,验证集相关系数 RP 分别为0.983和0.984、校正标准差S EC分别为0．887和0.453、预测标准差SEP分别为1.131和0.573。用150个界外样本分别对正常光谱样本模型和斜线光谱样本模型进行外部预测检验,模型识别率分别达91.33％和88.00％,表明所建NIR定性分析模型能够较好地在回收现场进行涤/棉混纺织物的鉴别。

Characterization and properties of chemically modified Corchorus capsularis jute fiber via pulping and grafting: Infrared,thermogravimetric analysis,differential scanning calorimetry,scanning electron microscopy,X‐ray diffraction,biodegradation, and superabsorbency

Jute fiber (Corchorus capsularis, JRC‐321 variety), an environmentally and ecologically friendly product, was chemically modified by the cooking alkaline sulfite process to unbleached and bleached pulps, which were further modified via graft copolymerization with acrylamide monomer with a complex initiating system: CuSO₄/glycine/KHSO₅. The above samples were characterized and morphologically analyzed by IR, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. The biodegradability and superabsorbency of the samples were also evaluated for their novel commercial importance as jute‐based superabsorbents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Viscoelasticity of a dielectric fluid in nonuniform electric fields generated by electrodes with flocked fabrics

The rheological behavior of a dielectric fluid is studied in nonuniform electric fields which are generated by an electrode covered with flocked fabrics. Although no electrorheological (ER) effects are observed in uniform fields between metal electrodes with smooth surfaces, striking increases in viscosity and elastic response are induced by the electrode with flocked fabrics. The presence of flocked fabrics does not have a significant effect on the fluid rheology without electric fields. The ER behavior and current density are influenced by the fiber length even at a constant field strength. When a very small amount of fine particles is introduced in the electrified fluid without shear, we can see the rapid and large-scale motion of particles between the tips of fibers and plate electrode. In high DC fields, the Coulomb force acting on a free charge often gives rise to the secondary motion of fluid. The local motion of fluid in high electric fields is refereed to as electrohydrodynamic (EHD) convection. The additional energy may be required to change the periodic patterns of EHD convection by forced shear. Therefore, the ER effect demonstrated by the modification of electrode with flocked fabrics can be attributed to a combined effect of EHD convection and external shear.

Modified cotton fabrics with poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid) and poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid)/gelatin hydrogel for UV protection,antibacterial and electrical properties

This research aimed to prepare smart cotton fabrics with multi functions for antibacterial activity, UV protection and electrical conductivity via in situ coating with conductive polymer and conductive hydrogel. Therefore, 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid was synthesized followed by polymerization using ceric ammonium nitrate. In addition, cotton fabrics coated with 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid via in situ polymerization and by the hydrogel that based on poly (3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid) and gelatin which have been performed via in situ gelation process. The chemical structure and morphology of the 3-(furan-2-carboamido) propionic acid (monomer) and the synthesized polymer (PFu) were investigated by H¹NMR, IR, SEM, TGA and DSC. Where, the treated fabrics (PFu-T and PFu-G-T) are characterized by SEM, FTIR and contact angle. Furthermore, the AC electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of PFu, PFu-T, PFu-G-T and blank were investigated over the frequency range of 20 Hz–10 MHz at room temperature using impedance spectroscopy where the electric conductivity values are 1.74 × 10^-5, 7.5 × 10^-8, 4 × 10^-7, 8.24 × 10^-11 (S·cm)^-1, respectively. In addition, the anti-bacterial activity of PFu-T, PFu-G-T and blank was assessed versus gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria where, PFu-G-T shows activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Moreover, PFu-T, PFu-G-T showed high UV protection especially for PFu-G-T.

Ultrasonic assisted dyeing: Dyeing of acrylic fabrics C.I. Astrazon Basic Red 5BL 200%

The dyeing of acrylic fabrics using C.I. Astrazon Basic Red 5BL 200% has been studied with both conventional and ultrasonic techniques. The effect of dye concentration, dye bath pH, ultrasonic power, dyeing time and temperature were studied and the resulting shades obtained by dyeing with both techniques were compared. Colour strength values obtained were found to be higher with ultrasonic than with conventional heating. The results of fastness properties of the dyed fabrics were studied. X-ray and Scanning Electron Microscope SEM were carried out on dyed samples using both methods of dyeing to find out an explanation for the better dyeability of acrylic fabrics with (US) method. Dyeing kinetics of acrylic fabrics using C.I. Astrazon Basic Red 5BL 200% using conventional and ultrasonic conditions were compared. The time/dye-uptake isotherms are revealing the enhanced dye-uptake in the second phase of dyeing. The values of dyeing rate constant, half-time of dyeing and standard affinity and ultrasonic efficiency have been calculated and discussed.     

Mechanical property evaluation of glass–jute fiber reinforced polymer composites

The natural fibers such as jute, coir, hemp, sisal etc. are randomly used as reinforcements for composite materials because of its various advantages such as low cost, low densities, low energy consumption over conventional fibers. In addition, they are renewable as well as biodegradable, and indeed wide varieties of fibers are locally available. In this study, glass–jute fiber reinforced polymer composite is fabricated, and the mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact behavior are investigated. The materials selected for the studies were jute fiber and glass fiber as the reinforcement and epoxy resin as the matrix. The hand lay‐out technique was used to fabricate these composites. Fractured surface were comprehensively examined in scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine the microscopic fracture mode. A numerical procedure based on the finite element method was then applied to evaluate the overall behavior of this composite using the experimentally applied load. Results showed that by incorporating the optimum amount of jute fibers, the overall strength of glass fiber reinforced composite can be increased and cost saving of more than 30% can be achieved. It can thus be inferred that jute fiber can be a very potential candidate in making of composites, especially for partial replacement of high‐cost glass fibers for low load bearing applications.
