PAN Precursor Fibres Containing Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Authors: Szparaga Grzegorz, Mikołajczyk Teresa, Fraczek-Szczypta Aneta
The spinning conditions of wet spun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibres containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were investigated. On the basis of images from a transmission electron microscope, it was shown that the MWCNTs are well dispersed in... more »

Effects of Cellulase Enzyme Treatment on the Properties of Cotton Terry Fabrics
Authors: Tavcer Petra Forte
Terry fabrics are exposed to frequent and intensive washing and must therefore be resistant to water, alkali, washing agents and rubbing. Washing agents frequently contain cellulase enzymes. The influence of two kinds of cellulase enzymes on the properties... more »
