Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the most important modifiable risk factor for skin cancer development. Although sunscreen and sun-protective clothing are essential tools to minimize UVR exposure, few studies have compared two modalities head-to-head. This study evaluates UV-protective capacity of four modern, textiles broad-spectrum, organic sunscreens (SPF 30 50). Sun Protection Factor (SPF), (UPF), Critical Wavelength (CW), % UVA- UVB-blocking were measured each fabric. UPF, CW, at...
Abstract In this paper, the different discharge and polymerizing characteristics of Ar He atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJs) were studied. The as‐deposited polymer acrylic acid (PAA) on silk fibroin film (SFF) by APPJs with Ar/O 2 He/O gases is investigated AFM, FESEM XPS. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) measurements indicated that various reactive radicals, such as OH O well some (AA) particles existed in jets. AFM images showed plasma‐deposited films had most homogeneous good...
Purpose Conventional sportswear design does not take into account body size changes that many individuals experience (e.g. through pregnancy, puberty, menstruation, etc.). This paper aims to detail both the construction of a novel wearable shape-adaptive composite and new meso-scale material method, which enables optimal creation these structures. Design/methodology/approach work reports development predictive computational model corresponding tool, including results tensile testing protocol...
