ECPE fibers (such as Spectra 1,000) are well suited for high-performance yachting sails, offering, in addition, resistance to sea water and to typical cleaning solutions used in the sailing industry, such as bleach. The major sport equipment applications to date have been canoes, kayaks, and snow and water skis. Numerous other sport applications are under development. [Pg.216]

Aramid fiber finds varied applications in aircraft and aerospace components because of its low density. This light weight is also advantageous in the fabrication of laminated canoes and kayaks. Other aramid fiber sport applications include downhill skis, tennis racquets, and golf shafts. [Pg.156]

Power is normally required to capture responses of the sensor, process and transmit data. While training in a physiological laboratory allows for sensor systems to be electrically supplied by the mains, in the field, power is best supplied by a disposable or rechargeable battery incorporated with the other electronic components of the system. Few sports applications require sleep phases, when the sensors are not required to be active. For most sports, the power requirements in use, whether for training or competition, are continuous but limited to hours as opposed to days. Thus, compared to medical sensors where data sometimes need to be gathered over several days, the power requirements are less stringent, which helps reduce the overall weight of the sensor system. [Pg.173]

The hand-pump oil can and polyethylene squeeze bottle are often used for sport application of adhesives. Where it is necessary to apply adhesives inside a blind hole, or some other point with limited access, an oil can with a stem of appropriate length is a simple solution. Tips at the end of the stem can be devised to deliver multiple spots of adhesive. The squeeze bottle can sometimes be used for the same purpose, and also to apply a continuous bond. Some liquid adhesives are applied in squeeze-bottle containers. When using polyethylene squeeze bottles, care should be taken that the adhesive will not affect the polyethylene itself. [Pg.187]

Aramid fiber (Kevlar from Du Pont) is an aromatic polyamide (nylon) that is woven into fabrics for reinforced plastics and laminates. Thin (2 mil, 1 oz per sq yd) to thick (30 mil, 16 oz per sq yd) fabrics are made. Aramid fabrics are used in a wide variety of aircraft and aerospace components where the low density and high strength of aramid are critical. Sports applications include laminated canoes and kayaks, downhill skis, tennis rackets, and golf shafts. The use of aramid fabrics in printed circuit boards is increasing. [Pg.182]

Conductive tape (Courtesy of Bally Ribbon Mills) is used to neutralize the static electricity and EMI shielding. An elastic webbing (Courtesy of Bally Ribbon Mills) with cable has been used for undersea communication. Physiological sensors and other sensors have been incorporated into textile substrate to monitor heart rate, skin temperature, movement and respiration, and muscle activity for medical and sports applications. RIP (respiratory inductance plethysmography) belts (Courtesy of Natus Neurology Incorporated) are used for sleep apnea monitoring. A conductive belt is used to make electrodes for EEC and other medical applications. A 3D conductive webbing (Courtesy of Bally Ribbon Mills) is also used as ON and OFF switch. [Pg.237]

ARG is a precursor for creatine synthesis. In a 1976 study, ARG with glycine in equimolar amounts increased the rate of creatine biosynthesis. Based on the availability and success of creatine supplementation, there appears to be no sport application for the use of supplemental ARG as a substrate for creatine synthesis. [Pg.294]

Fiber composites with EP resins as matrix resins are used for high-quality composites for aerospace and sports applications and in electronics - thanks to their good insuiating properties they are optimally suited for circuit boards. In addition, rotor blades for wind-power systems beyond a certain size that cannot be made from UP resins are another area of increasing demand. [Pg.26]

High modulus fibers and films are produced from extended chain crystals in both conventional polymers, notably PE, and in liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs). The topic of high modulus organic fibers has been described and reviewed [15-17, 25] providing information on their preparation, structure, and properties. High modulus fibers are found in applications such as fiber reinforced composites for aerospace, military, and sporting applications. Industrial uses are for belts, ropes, and tire cords. Extended chain crystals can also form when polymers are crystallized very slowly near the melting temperature, but they are weak and brittle. [Pg.8]

Among other properties of PEBAX resins used in sport applications is their good decoration ability, for example with silk-screen, printing, or sublimation processes, as well as their good UV properties and good adhesion on different substrates. The design of top-layers for skis and snowboards makes use of such properties. [Pg.278]
