Creation of nonwoven shoe materials with improved hygienic properties

The method of development and study of the structure of needle-punched insole fabric for use in shoemaking is described. The nonwoven insole material is composed of three layers, which imparts to the material moisture-absorbing capacity (hygroscopicity), moisture-yielding capacity, elasticity, abrasion resistance, strength, antimicrobial property, deodorizing property, etc. Bamboo fibre is proposed to be used in the composition of the material as an alternative to traditional viscose fibre. It is proved that, thanks to their higher hygroscopicity and strength in the wet state, nonwoven materials containing bamboo fibre are suitable for making insoles for working and special shoes.     

Investigation of antifungal and antibacterial effects of fabric padded with highly stable selenium nanoparticles

In this article, highly stable selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were padded onto fabric to obtain, for the first time, antifungal and antibacterial fabric. SeNPs are prepared from a simple food‐grade redox system by using polysaccharide–protein complexes (PSPs) isolated from the mushroom sclerotia of Pleurotus tuber‐regium (tiger milk mushroom) as a modifier or stabilizer. The novel PSP–SeNPs are highly stable, size‐controllable, and water‐dispersible. Different amounts of PSP–SeNPs were applied onto fabric by using the pad–dry–cure method. It was found that the fabric treated with PSP–SeNPs can inhibit more than 99.7% of Trichophyton rubrum growth over a testing period of 7 days. The inhibition of Staphylococcus is effective in the first 12 h. The fabric treated with PSP–SeNPs is a promising material that can potentially be used inside shoes as insoles or shoe material to reduce the possibility of tinea pedis infection usually caused by the T. rubrum fungus. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Scent properties by natural fragrance microencapsulation for footwear applications

The aim of this study was to develop footwear materials and footwear packaging with scent properties using microencapsulated fragrances from essential oils. For that purpose, gelatine–carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and melamine–formaldehyde (MF) resin‐based microcapsules containing limonene were synthesised using complex coacervation and in situ polymerisation processes, respectively. The microcapsules were characterised using various experimental techniques and applied to footwear materials (leather and textile) as well as to paperboard as packaging material to evaluate their performance. The microcapsule durability under various conditions, such as rubbing and ironing, was analysed in order to simulate shoe manufacturing and shoe wearing conditions. The characterisation of the synthesised microcapsules showed two different delivery behaviours. On the one hand, MF microcapsules are more resistant so they may be incorporated into footwear materials that have to be exposed to high mechanical and thermal stresses, such as linings. On the other hand, gelatine–CMC microcapsules should be incorporated into footwear components, such as insoles, which are exposed to lower stresses because they are less resistant and might not resist the process conditions. The combination of both kinds of microcapsules could ensure a rapid as well as a long‐lasting fragrance release. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry

Determination of the extent of oxidation of fats

Summary The amount of secondary oxidation products in refined and unrefined fats has been determined by reaction with benzidine acetate in iso-octane absolute alcohol solution, and measurement of the absorption at 350 mμ of the yellow color has been made. An “aldehyde value” has been calculated from this absorption intensity, using cinnamaldehyde as a reference substance. Determination of the aldehyde value and peroxide number of oils before and during refining has given information on the effect of the different refining processes on the state of oxidation of the oils. The effect of hardening on the content of oxidation products of an oil has been investigated. The effect of the amount of oxidation products in the unrefined material on the flavor stability of the refined material and of the margarine made from it has also been studied.

Decomposition of the technology of creation of commodity portfolio of a textile enterprise

In economics and management, classical single-factor study of an object is being pursued increasingly rarely. The results of multifactor studies can be presented explicitly in the form of scales and matrices of various dimensions. This article provides a classification of the technologies of creation of commodity portfolio of an enterprise in the form of two- and three-dimensional taxonomic (classification) space. Squares of matrices correspond to objects and methods of creation of a variety of products manufactured by the enterprise. Substantive, procedural, and innovation levels of the hierarchy of the technology of commodity portfolio creation are considered as the classification criteria.

Effect of degree of deacetylation of chitosan on the kinetics of ultrasonic degradation of chitosan

The objective of the study was to explore the effect of the degree of deacetylation (DD) of the chitosan used on the degradation rate and rate constant during ultrasonic degradation. Chitin was extracted from red shrimp process waste. Four different DD chitosans were prepared from chitin by alkali deacetylation. Those chitosans were degraded by ultrasonic radiation to different molecular weights. Changes of the molecular weight were determined by light scattering, and data of molecular weight changes were used to calculate the degradation rate and rate constant. The results were as follows: The molecular weight of chitosans decreased with an increasing ultrasonication time. The curves of the molecular weight versus the ultrasonication time were broken at 1‐h treatment. The degradation rate and rate constant of sonolysis decreased with an increasing ultrasonication time. This may be because the chances of being attacked by the cavitation energy increased with an increasing molecular weight species and may be because smaller molecular weight species have shorter relaxation times and, thus, can alleviate the sonication stress easier. However, the degradation rate and rate constant of sonolysis increased with an increasing DD of the chitosan used. This may be because the flexibilitier molecules of higher DD chitosans are more susceptible to the shear force of elongation flow generated by the cavitation field or due to the bond energy difference of acetamido and β‐1,4‐glucoside linkage or hydrogen bonds. Breakage of the β‐1,4‐glucoside linkage will result in lower molecular weight and an increasing reaction rate and rate constant. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Implementation of the Results of Mathematical Modeling of Orientation of Polypropylene Fibre

Process schemes for implementation of the optimum conditions of the final stage of orientational drawing of PP fibre are proposed based on the results of mathematical modeling. The existence of successive stages of transformation of the structure of PP fibre in the second stage of orientational drawing was experimentally confirmed with indirect indexes. The necessity of selecting the draw ratio that ensures completeness of the given stage of structural transformation is demonstrated. Structural schemes are proposed for automated control systems for selecting the optimum draw ratio in the first and final stages of orientational drawing and control of the structure of the spun polymer with indirect parameters.     

A study of miscibility of blends of polybutadienes of varying microstructure

The miscibility of various amorphous polybutadienes with mixed microstructures of 1,4 addition units (cis, 1,4 and trans 1,4) and 1,2 addition units have been investigated. The studies here involved optical transparency, differential scanning calorimetry, and small angle light scattering. It was found that a 90 percent (cis) 1, 4 addition polybutadiene was immiscible with high (91 percent) 1,2 addition polybutadiene. Reduction of the 1,2 content to 71 percent induced an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) with the cis 1,4 polymer. Polybutadienes with 50 percent and 10 percent 1,2 contents were miscible above the crystalline melting temperature of the cis 1,4 polybutadiene. Immiscibility of the 91 percent 1,2 addition polymer was also found with a 10 percent 1,2 polybutadiene. The latter polymer also exhibits an UCST with the 71 percent 1,2 polymer. The results are used to interpret the characteristics of blends of polybutadienes of varying microstructure.

Analysis of products of high-temperature pyrolysis of various hydrocarbons

Ethane, ethylene, acetylene, propane and neopentane have been pyrolyzed at 1173 K, and methane at 1372 K in a flow system, and the volatile pyrolysis products analyzed. Eleven aromatic hydrocarbons, containing 14 or fewer carbon atoms, accounted for 98 + % of the liquid products recovered in each case. Benzene was the main product, followed by naphthalene. No compounds with branched chains or multiple substituents were present, and compounds containing even numbers of carbons comprised 93–99% of each mixture. Acetylene was a major component of the gaseous effluent from each of the initial hydrocarbons. The effect of temperature on the composition of the gaseous effluent during pyrolysis of methane, ethane and ethylene was determined. Carbon film deposition from methane commenced at about 1273 K; from ethane at 1015 K and from ethylene at 1100 K, in each instance coinciding with the appearance of acetylene in the effluent. As the temperature was raised, at first the increase in the rate of carbon deposition closely followed the increase in the concentration of acetylene in the effluent. It is proposed that acetylene may be a common factor in the pyrolysis of aliphatic hydrocarbons, perhaps acting as the precursor of both surface carbon and aromatic hydrocarbons by a process of head-to-tail linkage of two-carbon units at active surface sites to form chains that then undergo dehydrogenation to carbon or cyclization and desorption as aromatic species.     

A Review of Contemporary Views of Theories of Adhesion

The once distinct and independent theories of adhesion have been losing their isolation and converging. Ideas of the effects of surface roughness, once dismissed as irrelevant except in the case of textiles, have been revised; albeit on a smaller scale as details of surfaces have been revealed by sophisticated techniques. Electrostatic interactions across an interface have been more deeply explored and their significance recognised and expounded. Diffusion of groupings and chain segments within a polymer have been related to the possibilities of interaction with a variety of surfaces. Perhaps most important, theories of adsorption have been extended in depth. The precise nature of the molecular interactions have been recognised and quantified. In doing this the contribution of diffusion and elastoplastic phenomena have been integrated. These developments are collated and analysed to present the present understanding of the concepts.     

Stability of granules of solid solutions of poly-pehnyleneterephthalamide

Conclusions Studies of starting solutions of PPTA in sulfuric acid and of granules obtained under pressrue at low temperature, and of granules stored in a hermetic package, have been carried out by the methods of differential thermal analysis, turbidity spectrum and viscometry.On granulation of a solidified PPTA solution, short-term storage of the granules in a hermetic package, or short contanct of the granulated mass with air, no appreciable change in melting point or of the intrinsic viscosity of the system takes place.Long storage of a granulated solution, even in hermetic packages, can lead to a considerable decrease in the melting point of the crystal solvates, caused by an increase in defectiveness of crystal structure under the effect of moisture.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 3, pp. 25–26, May–June, 1986.
