2. Vinyl coated polyester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_coated_polyester

   Vinyl coated polyester is a material frequently used for flexible fabric structures. It is made up of a polyester scrim , a bonding or adhesive agent, and an exterior PVC coating. The scrim supports the coating (which is initially applied in liquid form) and provides the tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and dimensional stability of ...

3. Photo-oxidation of polymers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo-oxidation_of_polymers

   Depending upon substitution, the UV absorption spectrum is changed to match the application. Concentrations normally range from 0.05% to 2%, with some applications up to 5%. Frequently, glass can be a better alternative to polymers when it comes to UV degradation. Most of the commonly used glass types are highly resistant to UV radiation ...

4. Sun protective clothing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_protective_clothing

   ASTM D 6544 specifies simulating the life cycle of a fabric so that a UPF test can be done near the end of the fabric's life, when it typically provides the least UV protection. ASTM D 6603 is a consumer format recommended for visible hangtag and care labeling of sun protective clothing and textiles.

5. Fabric structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_structure

   The combination of the fluorine and carbon provides superior resistance to UV degradation and chemical damage than that of the acrylic topcoat. PVDF coated fabrics also maintain color longer than do those coated with acrylic. PVDF fabrics resist algae and fungi, and also have self-cleaning properties that make them easy to maintain.

6. List of textile fibres - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_textile_fibres

   Textile fibres or textile fibers (see spelling differences) can be created from many natural sources (animal hair or fur, cocoons as with silk worm cocoons), as well as semisynthetic methods that use naturally occurring polymers, and synthetic methods that use polymer-based materials, and even minerals such as metals to make foils and wires.

7. Nanofabrics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanofabrics

   Depending on the desired property, a nanofabric is either constructed from nanoscopic fibers called nanofibers, or is formed by applying a solution containing nanoparticles to a regular fabric. Nanofabrics research is an interdisciplinary effort involving bioengineering , [ 5 ] molecular chemistry , physics , electrical engineering , computer ...
