Elastic recovery is one of the most important mechanical properties especially of clothing applications. This property is more and more significant when the textile structure contains elastane filament and has significant elasticity. In this study, we investigate the effect of the Dorlastan® draft and yarn count on th…

Among the biorefinery processes based on wood resources that are under current development, hemicellulose extraction using aqueous media is one of the prominent ones. The hemicelluloses in wood extracts need to be separated from inhibitory compounds. We examined the separation of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) wood extr…

The evolution of topology and chemical order along the AsxGexSe1 − 2x composition-line within the As–Ge–Se glass-forming region is studied by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is shown that cation–cation bond formation becomes a dominant process for the compositions with x > 0.09. The results explai…

It is demonstrated that metalworking processes performed at different temperatures can lead to the {1012}-{1012} double twinning. This twinning mode has been observed during direct extrusion of the coarse-grained Mg-0.3at.%Al alloy at 433 K and analysed in detail on room-temperature rolled magnesium single crystal wit…

The evolution of texture during the tensile deformation of Mg–3.1%Al–1.05%Zn was studied by microtexture and macrotexture techniques. The deformation texture is shown to be the direct consequence of the variant selection that occurs during primary (contraction) and secondary (extension) twinning. During subsequent ann…
