Wicking Behaviors of Ring and Compact-Siro Ring Spun Yarns with Different Twists
AUTEX Research Journal, 2019 In this study, the wicking properties of ring and compact-siro ring spun staple yarns were compared. The twist level, which is related to the structure of the staple yarns, was found to significantly influence the wicking property of the two kinds of ...

Association Between Components of Cognitive Reserve and Serum BDNF in Healthy Older Adults
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2021 Background: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein has been shown to have a prominent role in neuron survival, growth, and function in experimental models, and the BDNF Val66Met polymorphism which regulates its expression has been linked to

Dynamics of capillary spreading along hydrophilic microstripes [PDF]
, 2001 We have studied the capillary spreading of a Newtonian liquid along hydrophilic microstripes that are chemically defined on a hydrophobic substrate. The front of the spreading film advances in time according to a power law x=Bt1/2.

Surface engineering for enhanced wicking: The role of laser machining and surface roughness
Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and DevicesWicking is an efficient liquid-handling strategy used in biomedicine, textile engineering, and environmental monitoring. Laser micromachining is a powerful method that induces unidirectional wicking by altering a surface's physical and chemical ...
