“…It has a threedimensional network, a high nitrogen content, low thermal conductivity, and high thermal stability [2][3][4] which satisfies the requirement of various flame resistant textiles. The low cost of raw materials and the relatively high performance [5] endow MF fiber with the potential to be widely applied. Though MF resin has many advantages, it's difficult to spin MF resin and the cross-linked structure of MF resin makes the fiber brittle [6,7].…”

Composite fibers made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins with different reaction degrees were prepared by wet spinning. The phase structures of MF/PVA spinning dopes and composite fibers were observed by using optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope with energy-dispersive X-ray spetroscopy (SEM-EDS). Crystal structures of composite fibers were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The loss of MF resins in the spinning process was calculated by using Kjeldahl. The mechanical properties, the flame retardant property, the water resistant property, and the thermal stability of composite fibers were also tested. Results show that with an increase in the reaction degree of MF resin, the phase separation degrees of spinning dopes and composite fibers rise up, the size of MF microphase grows larger, and the loss of MF resin diminishes; consequently, the hot water resistance and the flame retardancy of the fiber ameliorate while the tensile strength and the thermal stability perform a tendency of dropping after rising.

“…According to the NIJ Guide 100-01 2001, the most commonly used ballistic fabrics are made with Kevlar 1 , Spectra 1 or Dyneema 1 fibres. Kevlar 1 , manufactured by DuPont, is a flame resistant aramid fibre that does not melt and has high strength, low weight and high chemical and cut resistance (Shishoo 2002, DuPont 2008. Kevlar 1 fibres are woven together to create ballistic fabric.…”

Police officers' clothing needs were analysed related to ballistic vests and ballistic vest aspects that influenced wearer comfort were identified. Branson and Sweeney's Clothing Comfort Model served as a framework to assess eight attributes of the person, clothing and environment that were identified in a previous study as possible comfort factors for police officers. Ninety-one police officers in a southeastern city completed the survey to determine their ballistic vest comfort related to the eight selected attributes. Two attributes had significant correlations with comfort: fit and vest properties.

The permanent functionalization of synthetic fibers and especially of polyethylene fibers (PE fibers) is usually difficult, because the synthetic fiber surface does not contain many functional groups for fixation of finishing agents. For this, the aim of the now presented paper is to report of a functionalization process for PE fibers using the polyelectrolyte polyvinylamine (commercially also named as Lupamin™). The polyvinylamine is applied in a HT process (HT for high temperature process using process temperatures of 95 to 140°C) and usable to work as anchor for further applied negatively charged functionalizing agents as demonstrated in the current study with acid dyes. Also demonstrated is excellent antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus by simple polyvinylamine application onto PE fibers. This reported method has a high potential for the functionalization of PE fibers and could lead in future to appropriate industrial applications using functionalized PE fibers.
