Subject : 687 Textiles and Clothing
Keywords : Viscose rayon ;Sorptional properties;Adsorbent material;Viscose rayon precursor;Activated carbon
Abstract : "Activated carbon in the form of a regular fabric obtained using viscose rayon precursor is a new generation adsorbent material having superior sorptional properties and is finding varied defence applications. Carbonisation and activation mechanisms and properties and applications of adsorbent carbort fibres made from viscose rayon precursor are reviewed in this paper. " |

Subject : 687 Textiles and Clothing
Keywords : Non woven fabrics;Carbon coated fabrics;CW agents;Sulphur mustard
Abstract : "Carbon-coated non-woven fabrics were evaluated against vesicant sulphur mustard and 1,3-dichloropropane (DCP). Breakthrough times of these chemicals were compared and fitted in a linear equation. A correlation, better than 95 per cent was obtained. It is recommended that DCP be used in the evaluation and quality control of fabric in the chemical protective clothing manufacturing industries to reduce the exposure and risks of handling lethal chemicals. However, the clothing may be challenged with actual CW agents to determine their protective potentials, in the laboratory. Diffusion coefficients for DCP were also computed from the breakthrough data for carbon-coated fabric of different grades." |
