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.

In the realm of nanotechnology, the discovery and exploration of nanotubes have opened up a world of possibilities. Among the various types of nanotubes, one remarkable and promising member is the BNNT (Boron Nitride Nanotube). These fascinating nanomaterials are rapidly gaining attention in scientific circles due to their exceptional properties and potential applications

Separating cotton and polyester in a blended waste can be challenging. However, several chemical methods have been explored to facilitate the separation of cotton and polyester in textile waste.

A reusable adhesive is typically a type of pressure-sensitive adhesive that creates a bond when pressure is applied to it. The science behind this type of adhesive involves the interaction between the adhesive and the surface it is applied to.

Tensile fabric is a type of architectural fabric that is used to create tensile structures. Tensile structures are forms of architecture that rely on the tension of the fabric to support the structure, rather than the traditional methods of using compression and bending.

Cotton typically produces flammable fibers and is treated with chemicals to be flame retardant when used for consumer products like clothing, mattresses, upholstery, and carpet. The new cotton lines were created by a multi-parent breeding approach that resulted in new opportunities for natural genes to interact and develop the unexpected trait of flame retardancy.

Cut-resistant materials are designed to protect against cuts, slashes, and other sharp hazards. A fiber's cut resistance depends on its inherent properties and structure.

Autonomous Bleeding Detection & Control Clothing works by using a combination of sensors, actuators and smart materials to detect and react to bleeding injuries. The clothing can sense the location, severity and type of injury, such as penetrating trauma or amputation. The clothing can then adapt and apply the appropriate bleeding control method, such as pressure, hemostatic agents or tourniquets. The clothing can also communicate with the user and the medical team to provide feedback and alerts. Such clothing aims to reduce the critical time frames for bleeding control and increase the combat survivability.

Aramid fibers, such as Kevlar and Nomex, are high-strength, heat-resistant synthetic fibers commonly used in various applications, including protective gear, aerospace and automotive parts, and high-performance sporting goods. Aramid fibers are highly durable and can withstand extreme conditions, which makes them suitable for long-term use. However, when they reach the end of their useful life, recycling these fibers can be challenging due to their unique properties.

Sutures​

Sutures are medical devices used to stitch or close wounds, incisions, or lacerations in the body. They are designed to hold tissue together until it heals. Sutures are commonly used in surgery and are important for proper wound healing and minimizing scarring.
