NANOFIBERS II2:30 pm - 4:30 pmModerator: T.M. Singh, Ph.D., TMConsultingQuality Control inManufacturing ofElectrospun NanofiberCompositesDmitry M. Luzhansky, DonaldsonCompany, Inc.Quality control methods in largescaleproduction of nanofibercomposites will be discussed alongwith four evaluation toolsdeveloped for commerciallyprocessing nanofibers.Control of Deposition &Orientation of ElectrospunNanofibersNavin Bunyan, University ofMassachusetts-LowellThe objective of this research is toredesign the existing electrospinningprocess to improve the control overthe orientation of the deposited dryfiber on a grounded target; acomparison between experimentaland theoretical results for theprocess will be presented.Rip-Stop Reinforcement ofUltra-Thin MembranesWith ElectrospunNonwoven MaterialsKevin C. White, Ph.D., PhysicalSciences Inc.A presentation on the applicationof directed electrospinning toreinforce membranes and filmsresulting in increased tear strengthwith negligible increases in mass willbe offered.Increase of Strength &Surface Energy byExposing the ElectrospunNanofiber Fabrics to theOne Atmosphere UniformGlow Discharge PlasmaPeter P. Tsai, Ph.D., University ofTennesseeThis paper will present the results ofa study to increase the strength ofelectrospun nanofibers fabrics byexposing them to One AtmosphereUniform Glow Discharge Plasma.Also discussed will be the effect ofthe plasma conditions, including theelectrical parameters and workinggases on the increase of the fabricstrength.BARRIERS2:30 pm - 4:30 pmModerator: Joe Palomo,CardinalHealthIs It Not Time to UpdateAATCC 42 Test Method &Make It Relevant to OurPresent Testing Needs?Carl Palenske, Palenske Consulting Inc.This paper will cover four studiesdesigned to isolate and evaluatethe variables associated withAATCC 42 test method to producea more useful test method using thesame testing principles but withtighter parameters giving moremeaningful results.Protective BreathableMembranes: NewProtective Needs HaveDemanded and YieldedDevelopments BeyondSimple Microporous andMonolithic FilmsJoel Martz, Techguard Systems LLCLearn how recent global eventshave resulted in the developmentof membranes with new protectiveabilities that are cost-effective andmore comfortable than currentlyused barriers.Plasma Treatment:Hydrophobic &Antimicrobial Propertiesfor Nonwoven TextilesGita Ramasawmy, Ph.D., KansasState UniversityThe objective of this presentation isto evaluate the efficiency ofplasma treatment in providing abarrier against blood and microbesover conventional finishes.10
Cellulose BasedNonwovens: The Key toCombining Barrier &Thermal Protection inApparel ApplicationsCharlie Roberson, Precision FabricsGroup, Inc.This paper will discuss the hazards ofwearing non-flame retardant barriergarments over thermally protectivegarments and how the use ofcomparable flame retardantgarments yields unexpectedbenefits in terms of thermalprotection.ThursdaySeptember 18, 2003AUTOMOTIVE9:00 am - 10:30 amModerator: D.V. Parikh, Ph.D., USDAImproving the ImpactStrength of Natural FiberReinforced Composites BySpecifically DesignedMaterial and ProcessingParametersDieter H. Mueller, Ph.D., University ofBremenThis paper describes the effect ofseveral material parameters such asfiber fineness or fleece compositionas well as the impact of the processconditions on compositecharacteristics.Comparison of Kenaf,Bagasse, and RamieAutomotive Nonwovens:Uniform Structure vs.Sandwich StructureYan Chen, Ph.D., Louisiana StateUniversityPresented will be the results of astudy comparing mono-content/single-layer and multi-content/multilayeredcomposites structures interms of mechanical properties,thermal properties and acousticalproperties.Increasing Technical Usesof Nonwovens inAutomotivesBill Smith, Industrial Textile AssociatesDiscussed will be the adoption ofnonwovens in automotiveapplications as well as their currentand future uses in automobiles.FILTRATION9:00 am - 12:00 pmModerator: Chris Shields, LydallFiltration & SeparationDiesel Fuel & LubricantFiltration RequirementsGary Bessee, Southwest ResearchInstituteDiscussed will be some of the olderfuel and lubricant test methods, thenew and future test methods, andhow some of the media and filtercompanies are attempting to solvethe engine filtration problems.Continued Evolution ofPolyester Spunbond in theFiltration MarketMitch McCreary, BBA FiltrationSpunbonded products withimproved uniformity for diagnosticmedical products will be presented.11
