  2. Prolene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolene

    A ball-and-stick model of polypropylene. Prolene is a brand of synthetic polypropylene used in monofilament nonabsorbable sutures and meshes. The suture is indicated for skin closure and general soft tissue approximation and ligation.

  3. Conservation and restoration of textiles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_and...

    The best storage environment for textiles is clean, dark, cool, and moderately dry, with a constant temperature and relative humidity. Ideally, there should be no strain on any one particular area of cloth. There are three basic kinds of storage for textiles, and the choice of which to use relies on the type of textile and the space available.

  4. Bias tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_tape

    Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, typically plain weave, cut on the bias. As the weave of fabric is at a 45-degree angle, the resulting fabric strip is stretchier than a strip cut on the grain. The strip also has a better drape, and conforms to curves better than fabric cut on the grain. [1]

  5. Grain (textile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(textile)

    A garment made of woven fabric is said to be "cut on the bias" when the fabric's warp and weft threads are on one of the bias grains. Woven fabric is more elastic as well as more fluid in the bias direction, compared to the straight and cross grains. This property facilitates garments and garment details that require extra elasticity ...

    Bias The bias direction of a piece of woven fabric, usually referred to simply as "the bias", is at 45 degrees to its warp and weft threads. Every piece of woven fabric has two biases, perpendicular to each other. Non-woven fabrics such as felt or interfacing do not have a bias. bias tape Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric ...

  7. Proline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline

    Furthermore, proline is rarely found in α and β structures as it would reduce the stability of such structures, because its side chain α-nitrogen can only form one nitrogen bond. Additionally, proline is the only amino acid that does not form a red-purple colour when developed by spraying with ninhydrin for uses in chromatography. Proline ...

    Finally, both lines are plotted on the Ashby chart. Figure 3. Ashby chart with performance indices plotted for maximum result. First, the best bending materials can be found by examining which regions are higher on the graph than the / bending line. In this case, some of the foams (blue) and technical ceramics (pink) are higher than the line.

  9. Prolamin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolamin

    Prolamins are a group of plant storage proteins having a high proline amino acid content. They are found in plants, mainly in the seeds of cereal grains such as wheat , barley , rye , corn , sorghum , and oats . They are characterised by a high glutamine and proline content, and have poor solubility in water. They solubilise best in strong ...
