Computer-controlled embroidery design and stitching for Precision Control of Tensile Properties of woven textiles

Computer-controlled embroidery algorithms allow for custom design and control properties of fabrics and woven materials. Embroidery changes the mechanical properties of frabrics, depending on the strength, orientation, and distribution of stitches. The production of fabrics with multiple, distinct properties traditionally requires the assembly of layers...

Lignocellulose-Sulfur Composite Materials for Construction Applications

These composites chemically combine abundant agricultural and petrochemical wastes, allowing for practical reduction of inert wastes that can be used to either supplement or replace traditional construction materials. Approximately 7 million tons of waste sulfur and 5 million tons of waste lignocellulose are produced each year. Only a quarter of these...

Inherently Omniphobic Fibers and Fabrics

This fiber modification uses channels with re-entrant features in the shape of repeating trapezoids to create highly repellent textiles that resist attraction of both water and liquid chemicals, solvents, and oils. The self-cleaning textiles market, which includes hydrophobic, oleophobic, and omniphobic materials, is expected to reach a value of $573...

Functionalized Modification of Polymers for HPLC

These polymer fibers, used as stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), enable a high level of selectivity and throughput, thus increasing efficiency. Chromatography is a method used by scientists to separate organic and inorganic compounds for further analysis. Currently, over 60% of chemical analysis worldwide is done in...

Fiber Bundle Cartridges as Chemical Separation Media

Monolithic cartridges including a plurality of nominally aligned polymer fibers can be used as stationary phase materials for liquid chromatography separations. Bundles of fibers are packed together so as to form capillary channels between the fibers. Different polymer compositions permit the “chemical tuning” of the separation process....
