“…These fabrics are popular mainly due to their affordable prices, high strength, durability, resistance to wear and tear, various colors, and soft texture [11]. They are often used for wide-span surfaces, membrane-cable structures, and pneumatic constructions [13]. One recent application of coated-fabrics is their application as textile bioreactor which is a vessel to conduct the biological processes (fermentations) [14].…”

“…There are two principal types of coated woven fabric: glass fiber fabric with a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating and polyester fabric with PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) coating [12]. Both PTFE-and PVCcoated-fabrics are employed today in different types of tents and architectural membrane structures all over the world [13]. As the fabric is prepared from high crystalline polymer (spun fiber), it can resist environmental loads, as tensile stresses in the plane of the fabric [12].…”

Polyamides (PAs) are one of the most important engineering polymers; however, the difficulty in dissolving them hinders their applications. Formic acid (FA) is the most common solvent for PAs, but it has industrial limitations. In this contribution, we proposed a new solvent system for PAs by replacing a portion of the FA with urea and calcium chloride (FAUCa). Urea imparts the hydrogen bonding and calcium ion from the calcium chloride, as a Lewis acid was added to the system to compensate for the pH decrease due to the addition of urea. The results showed that the proposed solvent (FAUCa) could readily dissolve PAs, resulting in less decrease in the mechanical properties during the dissolution. The composite prepared using the FAUCa has almost the same properties like the one prepared using the FA solution. The solution was applied on a polyamide 66 fabric to make an all-polyamide composite coated-fabric, which then was characterized. The FAUCa solution had a higher viscosity than the one prepared using the neat FA solvent, which can be an advantage in the applications which needs higher viscosity like preparing the all-polyamide composite coated-fabric. A more viscouse solution makes a 2 denser coating which will increase the water-/gas-tightness. In conclusion, using the FAUCa solvent has two merits: 1. replacement of 40 % of the FA with less harmful and environmentally-friendly chemicals and 2. enabling for the preparation of more viscouse solutions, which makes denser coating.

“…The remaining plate heat exchangers are normally equipped with stainless steel plates, for which there is no corrosion risk as the heat exchangers work with freshwater. In future applications, some effort should be made to use plastics [4][5][6], which do not exhibit susceptibility to corrosion and are much cheaper.…”
