AI Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate that the spacer fabric significantly improves burn protection duration without much impact from the heat setting process.
- * Overall, the combination of the laminated outer layer and spacer fabric offers superior thermal protection while maintaining comfort and air flow, making it ideal for steam protective clothing.
Article Abstract
Developing new fabric systems with excellent thermal protective performance is essential to protecting workers from hot pressurized steam hazards. In this study, a laminated fabric was selected and a weft-knitted spacer fabric was developed for steam protective fabric systems. Effects of the configuration of the fabric systems and heat setting of spacer fabric on performances were investigated. The results demonstrate that the developed spacer fabric significantly prolonged skin burn times compared with controls. However, heat setting of spacer fabric had a negligible effect on improving thermal protective performance. Spacer fabric provided superior thermal protection while ensuring thermal comfort and enhancing air permeability, especially for spacer fabric after heat setting. Generally, a fabric system composed of a laminated outer shell and a spacer fabric is the best choice for steam protective clothing. The findings help develop a novel thermal liner to decrease energy transfer and provide better protection from pressurized steam.

Realizing plasmonic nanogaps with a refractive index ( = 1) environment in metallic nanoparticle (NP) structures is highly attractive for a wide range of applications. So far in self-assembly-based approaches, without surface functionalization of metallic NPs, achieving such extremely small nanogaps is challenging. Surface functionalization introduces changes in the refractive index at nanogaps, which in turn deteriorates the desired plasmonic properties.

Topochemical reactions normally occurring in the solid and crystalline state exhibit solvent-free and catalyst-free properties, with high atom economy properties, which have been widely applied in materials science and polymer synthesis. Herein, we explore the potential of topochemical reactions for controlling the emergence of supramolecular chirality and the precise fabrication of chiroptical materials. Boronic acid pinacol esters (BPin) were conjugated to naphthalimides containing an inherent chiral cholesteryl group linked by alkyl or benzene spacers.

Disulfide-containing nitrosoarenes with [bis(4-nitrosobenzyl) disulfide, ()] or without [4-nitrosophenyl disulfide, (), and 1,2-bis(4'-nitroso-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl)disulfane, ()] an alkyl spacer between the sulfur headgroup and the aromatic moiety (phenyl in () or biphenyl in ()) were synthesized and used as precursors to form azodioxy thiolate films on Au(111) substrates. Due to the incorporated disulfide functionalities, these specifically designed nitrosoarenes are enabled to self-polymerize through azodioxy bonds on a gold surface. Thin films of (), (), and () were prepared at different adsorption times via the solution-phase self-assembly of molecules onto the Au(111) surface and characterized by Raman spectroscopy, ellipsometry, water contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM).
