Distensibility

Chemical modification of the cotton fiber must be achieved within the physical framework of this rather compHcated architecture. Uniformity of reaction and distribution of reaction products are iaevitably iafiuenced by rates of diffusion, swelling and shrinking of the whole fiber, and by distension or contraction of the fiber s iadividual stmctural elements duting finishing processes. 

Physical tests appropriate for this type of evaluation are not necessarily limited to those properties which the coating may be called upon to display in service. A coating that shows a decrease in distensibility from 20 to 10% is still quite capable of withstanding the expansion and contraction of the substrate in atmospheric temperature cycling, yet such a coating can be expected to fail in service earlier than one which shows no decrease. Thus,...

Figure 3.1 A schematic representation of the control mechanism that stimulates gastric acid secretion, and the intervention points used to treat ulcers. The parietal cells and gastric cells form part of the epithelial cell lining of the stomach. Histamine release is usually triggered as part ofthe enteric nervous system response to distension of the stomach when food is eaten.

Lower-density E-plastomers have found alternate use in cast film processes to make elastic film laminates with good breathability which contain laminates of liquid impermeable extensible polymeric films with extensible-thermoplastic-polymer-fiber nonwovens and nonwoven webs of polyethylene-elastomer fibers as the intermediate layers. The development relates to a breathable film including an E-plastomer and filler that contributes to pore formation after fabrication and distension of the film. The method and extent of distension is designed to produce a breathable film by stretching the film to form micropores by separation of the film of the E-plastomer from the particulate solids. This film is useful for manufacture of absorbent personal-care articles, such as disposable diapers and sanitary napkins and medical garments. In detail, these constructions comprise a liquid impermeable extensible film comprising polyolefins. The outer layer contains extensible-thermoplastic-polymer-fiber nonwovens, and an elastic intermediate layer contains nonwoven webs of fiber E-plastomers. The intermediate layer is bonded to the film layer and the outer... 

According to other classification acne scars are divided to elevated, dystrophic or depressed [7]. Elevated scars are subdivided to hypertrophic, keloidal, and papular, while depressed scars are subdivided to distensible and non-distensible (Fig. 9.4).

Another noteworthy anatomical feature of the arteries is the presence of elastic connective tissue. When the heart contracts and ejects the blood, a portion of the stroke volume flows toward the capillaries. However, much of the stroke volume ejected during systole is retained in the distensible arteries. When the heart relaxes, the arteries recoil and exert pressure on the blood within them, forcing this "stored" blood to flow forward. In this way, a steady flow of blood toward the capillaries is maintained throughout the entire cardiac cycle.
