Porous Organic Polymers: From Molecular Design to Scalable Technologies

Small, EarlyView.
This review introduces porous organic polymers (POPs) for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, gas adsorption, catalysts, adsorbents, biomedical applications, sensors, and other exciting fields, and critically analyzes the synthesis and modification, and how structural topology influences the composites' architecture of POPs, along ...

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

Small, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT TREATMENTS OF MATERIALS INTENDED FOR MATTRESS COVERS [PDF]

Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork
The study on the chemical treatment of mattress cover materials for domestic and medical use is particularly important to understand how these materials can be improved in terms of resistance to different factors and durability in different contexts.

Cuttings, Combings, Fettlings and Flock: Gender and Australian Wool ‘Waste’, 1900–1950

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As Australia's wool industry produced vast amounts of fine fleece from the nineteenth century, the wool processing and clothes manufacturing industries generated waste – products like cuttings, combings, fettlings and flock. Salvaged and then sold to waste merchants, these and other materials had a second life.

Model construction and knitting damage mechanism of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation membrane fabric

Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) relies critically on the gas exchange performance of poly-4-methyl-1-pentene (PMP) membrane fabrics, which can be significantly affected by mechanical damage during the knitting process.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF A CIRCULAR WEFT KNITTING MACHINE THROUGH OBSERVATION OF YARN INPUT TENSION: A CASE STUDY [PDF]

Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork, 2018
This paper presents a noble approach to assess the performance of a modern knitting machine through monitoring of running yarn tension during operational hours. An industrial circular weft knitting machine having positive storage feed system was observed,

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.

PRECARIZED AGEING‐IN‐PERIFERIA: Low‐Income Older Adults in a Transforming Neighbourhood

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article we investigate how intersecting forms of precarity shape the everyday practices of ageing‐in‐place developed by low‐income older adults in Via Milano, a historically segregated yet rapidly transforming neighbourhood in Brescia, northern Italy. We draw on qualitative and ethnographic research to examine how diverse urban changes—

Advanced Mathematical Modeling of Woolen Knitting Dynamics Using Laplace Transform and Fourth-Order Runge–Kutta Method

Journal of Mathematics
The knitting of wool is a complicated textile process that is driven by nonlinear interactions of yarn tension, loop creation, and needle dynamics. These interactions have a considerable impact on the quality of the fabric as well as the efficiency with ...
