SLEEPING BAG

Polyester fibers can be blended with natural fibers such as cotton and wool. The products have better qualities and are used for men s and women s wear, pillow cases, and bedspreads. Fiberfill, made from polyesters, is used in mattresses, pillows, and sleeping bags. High-tenacity polymers for tire cord reinforcement are equivalent in strength to nylon tire cords and are superior because they do not flat spot. V-belts and fire hoses made from industrial filaments are another market for polyesters. [Pg.362]

Before myelination the axon lies in an invagination of the Schwann cell (Fig. 4-10A). The plasmalemma of the cell then surrounds the axon and joins to form a double membrane structure that communicates with the cell surface. This structure, called the mesaxon, then elongates around the axon in a spiral fashion (Fig. 4-10). Thus, formation of myelin topologically resembles rolling up a sleeping bag the mesaxon winds about the axon, and the cytoplasmic surfaces condense into a compact myelin sheath and form the major dense line. The two external surfaces form the myelin intraperiod line. [Pg.55]

As will be shown in Section 2.4, moisture plays an important role for the structural revival or reconditioning of down and feathers that have been vigorously compressed as bulk raw material in bales, or in a finished product, for example in a tightly rolled-up down sleeping bag. [Pg.21]

Down and feathers are often vigorously compressed either as processed bulk material in the form of bales or in finished products (e.g. sleeping bags or garments). In this compressed form, they can be transported and stored over longer periods of time. Compression temporarily lowers the filling power of down and feathers. [Pg.35]

Use once, then make into a different object that will last for many years (polyethylene terephthalate soft-drink bottle made into fiber for clothing or a sleeping bag). [Pg.424]

Polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PETE or simply 1, is a form of polyester often used to make bottles and jars to contain food. When collected, it is ground up into flakes and formed into pellets. The most common use for recycled PETE is the manufacture of polyester carpets. But it may also be spun into a cotton-candy-like form that can be used as a fiber filling for pillows or sleeping bags. It may also be rolled into thin sheets or ribbons and used as tapes for VCRs or tape decks. Reuse to produce bottles and jars is also common. [Pg.347]
