In-operando dynamic visualization of flow through porous preforms based on X-ray phase contrast imaging

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Direct visualization is often sought to elucidate flow patterns and validate models to predict the filling kinetics during processes whereby a liquid resin infiltrates a textile porous preform. Here, X-ray phase contrast interferometry is evaluated to imag ...

Electronic Multi-material Fibers and Textiles: Novel Designs and Applications

Chaoqun Dong

Flexible electronics and particularly soft fibers and textiles are becoming key components in rapidly developing fields such as robotics, health and personal care, sensing, or implantable and wearable devices. Thus far however, the ability to impart soft ...

Impromptu conservation: Symbiosis between tangible and intangible. The case of Thua Thiên Hue, Viet Nam

Despite its evolution over the past two centuries, heritage preservation has stayed primarily a top-down retrospective act with a material bias that entails a separation between tangible and intangible, nature and culture, especially within the postcolonia ...

The shapes of physical trefoil knots

Pedro Miguel Nunes Pereira de Almeida Reis, John Maddocks, Paul Johanns, Changyeob Baek, Paul Grandgeorge

We perform a compare-and-contrast investigation between the equilibrium shapes of physical and ideal trefoil knots, both in closed and open configurations. Ideal knots are purely geometric abstractions for the tightest configuration tied in a perfectly fle ...

Tensile response of textile reinforced concrete

Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a cementitious composite material where a carbon or glass fabric is embedded as reinforcement. The use of TRC allows building thin and light structures, with reduced concrete covers and an enhanced durability due to the ...

Textile reinforced concrete for sustainable structures: Future perspectives and application to a prototype pavilion

Aurelio Muttoni, Patricia Guaita, Raffael Baur, Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Patrick Lorenzo Valeri

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is a cementitious‐based material where reinforcement consists of high‐strength noncorrosive textile fabrics. Due to the use of a noncorrosive reinforcement, cover requirements can be limited to minimum static values and th ...

Nano-sized iron oxides supported on polyester textile to remove fluoroquinolones in hospital wastewater

Sami Rtimi

In this study, we examined the removal kinetics of two fluoroquinolones (FQs), flumequine (FLU) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), in synthetic wastewater (SWW) and real hospital wastewater (RHW) using FeOx thin films, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and visible light. Nano ...
