Core/shell nanofibers were successfully prepared by co-axial electrospinning, including carbon as a core and tin @ carbon as a shell. According to the classical electrospinning theory to calculate the diameter of nanofibers, the different diameter ratios of core/shell namofibers were obtained using different core/shell electrosppinning speed ratios, and then applied them in lithium-ion battery tests as anode materials. The morphology of core/shell nanofibers was characterized by transmission electron microscopy. X-ray diffractometer were measured to assess the structure of nanofibers. Especially, the electrochemical properties were detected. The study revealed that the different diameters of core/shell nanofibers were got by adjusting core/shell electrospping speed ratio; the crystal structures, tin and carbon were contained after carbonized at 800°C; when the core/shell electrospinning speed ratio at 1:1, carbon/tin@carbon nanofiers owned the best cycle stability, the capacity retention is 69% after 50 cycles.

Abstract In order to build up a rapid and efficient method to measure the commonly used parameter of flax fiber fineness（Nm）, the application of microscopic image technique was proposed for this research. Flax fiber fineness was measured with traditional gravimetric method, and flax fiber diameter（d）was scanned and measured on a microscopic image instrument. Both data of fiber fineness and fiber diameter were calculated and analyzed by statistic software SPSS 3.0, 6 regression equations about the correlation of flax fiber fineness and fiber diameter were modeled. The suitable regression equation was Nm=159＋2.505×105/d2（Correlation coefficient r=0.801**), there was a good correlation between fiber diameter and fiber fineness. Thus flax fiber fineness could be, nearly at the same time calculated based on this equation once fiber diameter was measured automatically on machine. F-test and t-test results showed that there was no significant difference between traditional gravimetric method and this new method. There were also good precision, repeatability and reproducibility in confirmatory experiments among 4 measuring institutions where this new method was put into use.

In order to study the adhesion property of fabric when it was seperated from skin in wet condition, the new developed wet fabric adhesion apparatus was used to test the adhesion property of fabric to skin in wet condition. There were three indices: adhesion force, adhesion distance and adhesion work. And a wet adhesion curve can be obtained from this method. Based on the observation and analysis of ten adhesion curves’ shapes of different kinds of fabric samples, it was concluded that adhesion curves had common characteristics. And it was found that the curve can be divided in to three parts and each part reflected different separation process. The KES system was adopted to test tensile and bending properties of fabric samples in order to study the impact of mechanics on wet fabric comfortability; meanwhile, adhesion data and curves were tested at the separation speed of 15mm/min. The results show that it is positive correlation between the tensile work and maximum adhesion force, opposite from the bending rigidity and the curve tends to be flatter with the longer adhesion distance.

The health care function of magnetic fabric acts on human body through its surface magnetic field. Its effect is affected by the intensity, direction and distribution of the surface magnetic field together. This study has explored the surface magnetic field of double magnetic fabrics and the fabrics in different configuration methods between magnetic fabric and non-magnetic fabric. In addition, MATLAB has been used to draw the distribution of surface magnetic induction intensity into three-dimensional graphics visually. The results of study show that the surface magnetic field strength of magnetic fabric is weak and it is usually between 0.02mT-0.05mT. The distribution is extremely uneven and varies in different regions. It has also been found that the surface magnetic field intensity of double magnetic fabric increases significantly while the differences in regions can increase or decrease randomly. If magnetic fabric covered by non-magnetic fabric or placed between layers of non-magnetic fabric, the surface magnetic field intensity weakens significantly while the differences in regions decrease. The weakening extent mainly depends on the thickness of non-magnetic fabric. The surface magnetic field will not change when non-magnetic fabric covered by magnetic fabric.

The application of plasma in textiles desizing is paid more attention by more and more researchers, but little has been reported about the effect of treatment parameters of plasma on the properties of blended size film. Therefore, in this paper, He/O2 atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) is used to treat the blended size film of starch phosphate and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA). By changing the parameters (such as treatment time, O2 flux and treatment distance) to study the surface properties change of blended size film. The results show that with the increase in treatment time and O2 flux, the weight loss ratio of the film increased. And with the decrease in treatment distance, the weight loss ratio decreased. The weight loss is caused by plasma etching, which showing some size agents can be removed by plasma etching. The results of AFM and SEM analysis show that with the increase in treatment time, the surface of film is rougher. The results of XPS analysis indicate that oxygen-based functional groups increased for the plasma treated films.

Different strength and interaction (hydrolysis, association) varing from different batches of dyes causes the first spline results of computer color matching system inaccurately, you need to manually adjust formula time and again to achieve customer requirements. For these issues, I first dyed according to the orthogonal experiment, and took the result as a standard sample, then analysis the error between standard sample and prediction one which corresponds to the initial formulation by CCMS（Computer color matching system） forcasting, and established a non-linear model between them. Based on the model and error analysis, and combining CCMS prediction, I chose particle filter to estimate the actual recipe, thus got PF algorithm prediction formula. Experiments show that the nonlinear model is correct, the color error（CIELAB） which using PF algorithm to predict will reduced more than 50% than the CCMS prediction. Thus, the nonlinear model is accurate and the method of using PF algorithm to predict the actual formula is feasible.

For the problem that yarn breakage can not be found in time during the spinning process, this paper proposes a method to monitor the traveler of the spinning frame, which is following the light reflex rule. The traveler’s rotation causes the change of reflected light intensity, which is received by photosensitive tube and converted into original electrical signal. The original electrical signal becomes square wave signal of being suitable for microcomputer detection after peripheral circuit. Microcomputer software calculates the number of square wave signal, when the statistic is less than the default the traveler is deemed hold-on and yarn breakage occurs. We Spun 18.2 tex cotton yarn with spinning frame-EJM128K and monitor yarn breakage with the proposed system. Taking some stages of the spinning process into consideration and making a series of signal sample of the traveler. The result shows that the proposed system can provide accurate detection and warning for yarn breakage position.

Two kinds of PLA with different oligomer contents were used to investigate the specific components of oligomer and the influence of its content on the melt spinning process of PLA. The chemical structure, melting and crystallization behavior and thermal stability of PLA, as well as the mechanical properties of its fibers were studied by using FTIR, 1H NMR, DSC, TG and yarn strength tester, respectively. Results show that the components of oligomer are lactide and PLA with low degree of polymerization. The glass transition temperature, melt temperature and crystallinity are decreased, while the half crystallization time of PLA is increased by the appearance of oligomers. However, the nucleation mode does not change. Besides, the initial degradation temperature of PLA is increased from 134.1 ℃ to 320.7 ℃, and the activation energy during the main stage of degradation is increased from 114.5 kJ/mol to 354.2 kJ/mol when oligomers are removed. What’s more, the strength-at-break of PLA fibers reaches up to 4.1 cN/dtex while the elongation-at-break maintains at 17.1% when drafted by 2.3 times.

ADR series chain extenders wers used for spinning poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB-co-4HB)).The rheology, thermal stability, crystallinity and fiber mechanical properties of P (3HB-co-4HB) and P (3HB-co-4HB)/ADR blends were investigated, along with the chain extendsion mechasim of ADR. The results showed that ADR can increase the melt strength, and improve the thermal stability of the fibers; and when the addition amount of ADR is 0.5% at 155°C, the melt has the maximum shearing strength and tensile strength, as well as optimum heat resistance. The influence of ADR on the crystal structure of P (3HB-co-4HB) is not remarkable, but it leads to the reduction of the crystallization rate and the increase of the maximum crystallization temperature. The mechanical properties of P (3HB-co-4HB) fibeers are significantly improved with ADR added.

The yield of 1,3-propandiol （PDO）is a bottleneck of the industrial application of polytrimethylene-tereph-thalate （PTT）. In order to increase the titer of PDO, the influences of different carbon sources to the carbon fluxes and the transcription and activity of key enzyme DhaB during the biosynthesis of PDO by Klebsiella pneumonia ZG25 were studied. When using glucose as the sole carbon source, the biomass of K. pneumonia ZG25 was highest but the PDO was not detected in the medium. The PDO yield of K. pneumonia ZG25 by using glycerol as the sole carbon source achieved 9 g/L. Compared with the fermentation by using glycerol as the sole carbon source, the biomass and the yield of PDO were increased by 66.7% and 150% respectively, when 5 g/L glucose was applied as supplementary carbon source. Further analysis exhibited that the mRNA level of dhaB and the activity of DhaB were also increased by 20% and 64% respectively. These results suggest that the mixed carbon sources strategy activate the transcription of dhaB, enhance the activity of DhaB and strengthen the synthesis of PDO by K. pneumonia.
