The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has claimed the lives of over one million
people worldwide. The causative agent, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 …

The ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic
has devastated the global economy and claimed more than 1.7 million lives, presenting an …

The surface and interfacial properties of different high performance fibers of current interest
have been analyzed. The pyridobisimidazole fiber M5 shows a markedly higher polar …

Using only one type of marker to quantify genetic diversity generates results that have been
questioned in terms of reliability, when compared to the combined use of different markers. …

The compressive properties of five high performance organic fibers with varying degrees of
lateral molecular interactions have been analyzed. A novel micro-mechanical technique …

The assumption of equal tensile and compressive modulus necessary to determine single
fiber axial compressive strength from the elastica loop test is relaxed by deriving a …

We demonstrate the continuous production of liquid-filled polymeric fibers in a stable melt-spinning
process at the pilot plant scale. Different polymers and liquids could successfully be …

The development of thermoplastic fibers containing a liquid core is described. Internal
morphology analysis confirms that the liquid-containing core is composed of a continuous …

Single-molecule studies of protein-nucleic acid interactions frequently require site-specific
modification of long DNA substrates. The bacteriophage λ is a convenient source of high …

Application of different polymers and fillers in multi-component fibers has recently emerged
as an effective approach in textile industries. Recent investigations have extensively …
