Abstract: An improved apparatus for the compressive shrinking of fibrous web materials is disclosed. The apparatus uses a system of moving rolls of different speeds cooperating with a confining member to form a stuffing chamber wherein a web material moves in a passageway where it is compacted. The addition of means for moving the rolls to provide a substantially uniform dimension to the passageway facilitates the compaction of the web material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of mixed porous oxides with a spherical morphology and the oxides themselves thus obtained. This process consists in emulsifying, in an acid environment, a mixed sol with a dispersing medium, gelifying the microemulsion thus formed by contact with an alkaline solution and subjecting the gel obtained to thermal aging in the presence of the emulsifying liquid and gelation base of the sol or in a water medium, under controlled conditions of pH and temperature. The above mixed oxides can be widely applied as carriers for catalysts or as precursors of ceramic materials. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The general area of this invention relates to porous materials made from nanofiber packed beds. More particularly, the invention relates to altering the porosity or packing structure of a nanofiber packed bed structure by blending nanofibers with scaffold particulates having larger dimensions. For example, adding large diameter fibers to a nanotube packed bed to serve as a scaffolding to hold the smaller nanofibers apart and prevent the nanofiber bed structure from collapsing. This increases the average pore size of the mass by changing the pore size distribution and alters the packing structure of the packed bed. The increase in average pore size is caused by the creation of larger channels which improves the flow of liquids or gasses through these materials.

Abstract: In the method for producing a fabric that is extendible in both the warp and weft directions and which exhibits colour effects, the warp and weft yarns being synthetic yarns that have been subjected a false twist type texturing treatment to render them both voluminous and extendible, the textured yarns forming the warp and/or the weft are dyed prior to forming into the fabric under conditions such that the yarns can contract during the dyeing operation. The weave of the fabric is designed such that the raw fabric is decontextured in the warp and the weft with respect to the desired density in the finished fabric. It then involves carrying out a weaving operation while maintaining the warp and weft yarns under tension. After the weaving operation, the raw fabric is washed at a temperature of below 100 degrees C to avoid washing out of the colourants, then subjected to a thermal finishing treatment by passage on a tenter frame, these operations being carried out under conditions which cause a contraction of the crimp of the yarn which in turn causes a retraction of the fabric in both the warp and the weft directions.
