Standardizing woven fabrics, for comparison, can be done, by using parameters like fabric degree of tightness. This facilitates the creation of similar fabrics with variable construction parameters while predicting beat-up resistance in weaving. Standard fabrics offer advantages like design flexibility, predicting fabric properties, and aiding in specific end-use constructions, ultimately impacting weaving efficiency and fabric quality.

Plastic Pollution and the PET Problem

Plastic pollution is a global crisis that is wreaking havoc on our coasts and oceans. Among the many culprits contributing to this environmental catastrophe are plastic objects made from polyethylene terephthalate, or PET. These objects, once discarded, can linger in the environment for hundreds of years, causing harm to marine life and ecosystems. However, a recent scientific breakthrough offers a glimmer of hope in the fight against plastic pollution.

Ablative composites are specialized composite materials composed of high melting point fibers and polymeric resins that yield char at high temperatures. These composites are used in extreme environments, such as reentry vehicles like Gaganyaan, where they experience harsh conditions including high heat, pressure, and particle impact. These composites are made with reinforcements like carbon, graphite, silica, and glass, along with resins like phenolics and furfuryl alcohol.

Electrospinning is a technique used to produce nanofibers from polymer solutions or melts. The process involves creating an electric field between a liquid polymer source and a grounded collector, which results in the stretching and solidification of the polymer into ultrafine fibers as the solvent evaporates.
