Title: Textile rope — A review Authors: Chattopadhyay, R Abstract: Natural and synthetic fibre ropes have been discussed in terms of their properties, behavioural characteristics and applications. A comparative assessment of the attributes of the fibres used in ropes has also been made. Page(s): 360-368

Title: Effect of constructional parameters on the properties of nylon braided cordages Authors: Husain, I; Pal, S K Abstract: The effects of sheath yarn twist, number of spindles and plait density on breaking strength, breaking extension and mass of cored and core less nylon cordages have been studied. Difference in properties of cored and coreless cordages, translation efficiency of yarn strength to cordage strength and the effect of dyeing on resultant properties of cordages have also been studied. It is observed that sheath yam twist, number of spindles and plait density influence the resultant properties considerably. Structural stability of the cordages is also found to be influenced significantly by number of spindles and plait density. Dyeing of cordages in slack condition results in a substantial change in plait density, mass, breaking strength and breaking extension. Page(s): 353-359

Title: An overview of military textiles Authors: Adanur, Sabit; Tewari, Ashutosh Abstract: Developments in the weapons and surveillance technologies are prompting innovations in individual protection equipments and battle-field related systems and structures. Besides conventional requirements such as durability to prolonged exposure, heavy wear and protection from external environment, the protection is sought from ballistic projectiles, fire, CBN (chemical, biological and nuclear) weapons and surveillance and detection systems. It is a challenge to the "system" designer to satisfy the conflicting requirements within the constraints of physiological requirements, logistics, technological limitations and the cost. This article gives an overview of the requirements, design considerations, developments and innovations related to the textile usage in the military applications. The examples and citations are mostly in the context of the United States Army. Page(s): 348-352

Title: Recent developments in fibres and materials for wound management Authors: Le, Y; Anand, S C; Horrocks, A R Abstract: During the last thirty years, occlusive dressings have brought a revolution in wound management. The most important advantage of an occlusive dressing is the creation of a moist wound environment which is believed to be beneficial for wound healing. This concept has resulted in a rapidly growing world-wide market for dressings with a variety of characteristics. This review focuses on the high performance fibres and materials currently used in the fabrication of wound care products. These range from natural and modified polysaccharides and proteins to synthetic materials. The products include the most popular materials currently on the market and those patented with future potential in terms of performance and commercial value. The composition, chemistry during manufacture, physical and medical characteristics, advantages and limitations during application have been reported. Based on the present research and existing products, some new and futuristic approaches, especially in the development of novel fibres for wound healing, have been proposed. Page(s): 337-347
