This work presents synthesis and characterization of copolymer obtained by grafting acrylic acid on hydrolyzed potato starch in the presence various initiators (azobisisobutyronitrile, potassium persulfate benzoyl peroxide). Starch hydrolysis was made to reduce average molar mass, i.e. macromolecule size. Grafting monomer performed produce a product that can be used textile treatment, for example, yarn sizing. Various were used, primarily, graft polymer obtain thinner or thicker packaging...

Among many other materials for the reinforcement of composites, technical fabrics are increasingly being used same purpose, especially from glass and basalt tows, which have good mechanical properties.. During tensile stress these elongated in direction force, at time they contract crosswise relation to action force. In this paper properties woven made yarns were investigated. Measurements focused on lateral contraction, according Poisson’s ratio can be calculated. For purposes, an...
