Material Classification Using Color and NIR Images
Sabine Süsstrunk, Neda Salamati
Material classification is becoming more important in computer vision and digital photography applications, which require accurate classification of objects present in the imaged scene. This is a very challenging task because the sheer diversity of scene c ...
2009Mechanical integrity of dye-sensitized photovoltaic fibres
Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer
The development of photovoltaic (PV) devices based on dye-sensitized TiO2-coated Ti fibers has opened up exciting possibilities for novel PV textile applications. The cohesion and adhesion of the TiO2 layer are identified as crucial factors in maintaining ...
2008Cohesion and adhesion of nanoporous TiO2 coatings on titanium wires for photovoltaic applications
Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer, Nelson Da Costa
The working electrode of a dye-sensitized photovoltaic fiber is constituted of a porous TiO2 coated titanium wire. The cohesion and adhesion of such a brittle oxide coating on the ductile metal substrate are identified as crucial factors in maintaining pho ...
Elsevier2008Performance and characterization of Ag-cotton and Ag/TiO2 loaded textiles during the abatement of E. coli
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Danièle Laub
The bacterial inactivation of Escherichia coli on Ag–cotton textiles were investigated under different experimental conditions with novel Ag-nanoparticles fixed on cotton textiles. The evaluation of the bactericide performance of the Ag–cotton was compared ...
2006Self-Cleaning cotton textiles surfaces modified by photoactive SiO2/TiO2 coating
The photocatalytic activity of TiO2–SiO2-coated cotton textiles was investigated through the self-cleaning of red wine stains. It was shown that a TiO2–SiO2 species could be produced at temperatures of 100 °C with acceptable photo-activity on non-heat resi ...
2006L'espace contre l'architecture
This research work analyses Theo van Doesburg's Counter-constructions presented in Paris in 1923 at the "L'Effort Moderne" exhibition. These Counter-constructions stand as icons of the Modern Movement due to their role as precursors of a new "boundless" sp ...
EPFL2005Antibacterial textiles prepared by RF-plasma and vacuum-UV mediated deposition of silver
César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Sandra Parra Cardona
The bacterial inactivation efficiencies of silver metal and oxides and their combinations on textile fabrics was investigated to evaluate the disinfectant action on airborne bacteria. The inactivation performance was seen to depend on the amount of silver ...
2003Drapability of dry textile fabrics for stampable thermoplastic preforms
Sandwiches based on stampable foam core and face sheets offer potential for cost-effective applications. Since the formability of such sandwich structures mainly depends on the drapability of the face sheets, the deformation behaviour of several types of t ...
2000Textile finishing
The antistatic and hydrophilic properties of acrylic, polyamide, and polyester fibers were improved by treatment with a polymerizable vinyl monomer contg. an ammonium group and a polymerizable monomer contg. a carboxyl or sulfo group and irradiating. Thus, ...
