TL;DR: In this paper, the subjective assessment of a textile material obtained from the sense of touch is an essential consideration in fabric manufacture and marketing, and the most significant contributions to the problems of evaluating hand in an organized and quantitative manner are discussed.
Abstract: The subjective assessment of a textile material obtained from the sense of touch is an essential consideration in fabric manufacture and marketing. This paper reviews what the authors judge to be the most significant contributions to the problems of evaluating hand in an organized and quantitative manner.

TL;DR: In this article, poly-e-caprolactone (PCL) diols, diisocyanates, and a triol crosslinking agent (either PCL triol or trimethylolpropane) were used for polyurethane preparation.
Abstract: Polyurethanes were prepared by a one-step method from poly-e-caprolactone (PCL) diols, diisocyanates, and a triol crosslinking agent (either PCL triol or trimethylolpropane). The influence of composition on mechanical properties was examined. In some formulations the elastomeric properties were lost by crystallization of the PCL segments. The occurrence and rate of crystallization were influenced by the composition and factors such as hydrolytic degradation and oil swelling. In one series of polymers the susceptibility to crystallization could be predicted from the composition. These materials showed melting and glass transitions when examined by differential scanning calorimetry and thermomechanical analysis. The molecular weight of the PCL diol had a greater influence on the glass transition temperature than the diol concentration.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the composition of wash liquors in laundering on the shrink-resist effectiveness of polymer treatments on wool are described. And the effect of foam on shrink-resistance of Wool fabrics is greater than would be expected from previous studies on untreated and oxidatively shrink-resistant treated wool.
Abstract: Some effects of the composition of wash liquors in laundering on the shrink-resist effectiveness of polymer treatments on wool are described. In addition to the known effects of the surface tension of the wash liquor, the foaming properties of the liquor are shown to be important. The effect of foam on the shrink-resist effectiveness of polymer-treated wool fabrics is greater than would be expected from previous studies on untreated and oxidatively shrink-resist-treated wool. In machines where agitation is achieved by rotation of a drum or cube, low concentrations of foam-producing surfactants inhibit felting shrinkage. In machines with submerged agitators, the presence of foaming surfactants in the liquor has little effect on felting shrinkage.

TL;DR: In recent centuries, shrubs such as Coffea arabica and Fievea brasiliensis trees have been removed from their original habitats and cultivated successfully in new areas and has been of great benefit to humanity.
Abstract: Dermatitis caused by plants has been reported throughout the world for generations. Some plants have been known to create problems in the countries of their origin, notably American poison ivy {Rhus radicans).^ In the United States of America, this group of plants is said to be responsible for more cases of allergic contact dermatitis than all other provocatives combined.^ In recent centuries, shrubs such as Coffea arabica and Fievea brasiliensis trees have been removed from their original habitats and cultivated successfully in new areas. In most cases, such transplantation has been done on a commercial scale and has been of great benefit to humanity.
