Production of Parallel Aligned Nanofiber Rovings From Continuous Bundles
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Continuous nanofiber rovings are produced via electrospinning. The integration of false twisting and drawing improved fiber properties. Optimized twisting increases fiber alignment and tensile strength. The drawing process reduces the average nanofiber diameter from 297 to 200 nm and decreases the standard deviation of alignment angles from 14.2° to 8 ...

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2010 Muscle ultrasound is a convenient technique to visualize normal and pathological muscle tissue as it is non-invasive and real-time. Neuromuscular disorders give rise to structural muscle changes that can be visualized with ultrasound: atrophy can be objectified by measuring muscle thickness, while infiltration of fat and fibrous tissue increase muscle ...
