Clothing cords

From the viewpoint of accommodation to the filter-supporting structure, some cloths cannot be used, even though the filtering characteristics are excellent. For rotary drum filters, for example, the cloth is pressed onto the drum by the caulking method, which uses cords that pass over the drum. In this case, the closely woven cloths manufactured from monofilament polyethylene or polypropylene fiber are less desirable than more flexible cloths of polyfilament fibers or staple cloths.

Nylons are used both in engineering applications and in making fibers. A combination of high impact strength and abrasion resistance makes nylon an excellent metal substitute for bearings and gears. As fiber, nylon is used in a variety of applications, from clothing to tire cord to ropes. 

The most generally useful polyester is that made by reaction between dimethyl terephthalate (dimethyl 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) and ethylene glycol (1,2-ethanediol). The product is used under the trade name Dacron to make clothing fiber and tire cord and under the name Mylar to make recording tape. The tensile strength of polyethylene terephthalate) film is nearly equal to that of steel.

U.S. market is about 20 million pounds per year. The applications are those where one needs very high flame resistance (clothing for firefighters and welders, welder s protective shield, upholstery and drapes), heat resistance (ironing board covers, insulation film for electrical motors and transformers, aerospace and military), dimensional stability (fire hose, V- and conveyor belts), or strength and modulus (circuit boards, bulletproof vests, fiber optic and power lines, ship mooring ropes, automobile tire cord, puncture-resistant bicycle tires). 

What do we think of when we hear fiber Clothing, certainly, and other textiles such as sheets and blankets, curtains and upholstery. Some fiber goes into carpeting—for offices, homes, automobiles, and recreational vehicles. Automobile, truck, and bus tires are strengthened with the use of fibers called cords. Some fiber is used for industrial purposes such as insulation and filtration. Hollow fibers that act as membranes are used in the desalination of seawater by reverse osmosis and in kidney dialysis. As we have already seen, extremely high-strength fibers are used to make bulletproof safety equipment and to reinforce polymers for high performance ap-...

Indeed, materials in a fibrous form have been used by mankind for a long time. Fiber yams have been used for making fabrics, ropes, and cords, and for many other uses since prehistoric times, long before scientists had any idea of the internal structure of these materials. Weaving of cloth has been an important part of most ancient societies. The term fabric is frequently employed as a metaphor for society. One talks of the social fabric or moral fiber of a society, etc. It is interesting to note that an archeological excavation of a 9000-year-old site in Thrkey led to the discovery of a piece of fabric, a piece of linen, woven from the fibers of a flax plant (New York Times, 1993). Normally, archeologists date an era by the pottery of that era. It would appear from this discovery that even before the pottery, there were textile fabrics. There is also recorded use of sutures as stitches...
