Cotton is the most widely used natural cellulosic polymer and polyester is a synthetic polymer. The use of polyester fiber is increasing gradually day by day due to its strength and longevity, while the use of cotton fiber is decreasing due to its unavailability. At present, the use of cotton-polyester composites is ubiquitous. This research work aims to assess the physical, mechanical and comfort properties of the woven fabric using cotton-polyester composite yarns in a weft direction and coarser yarn count because of the use of these fabrics in the future for the denim manufacturing process. Four different samples were fabricated by using 100% cotton (10 Ne) yarn in the warp direction and 100% cotton, cotton-polyester composite, and 100% polyester yarn in the weft direction of the fabric. Similar fabric and machine parameters were maintained for manufacturing all the samples. The samples were then tested for areal density, tensile strength, thickness, abrasion resistance and pilling, drape, flexural rigidity, and air permeability to find the optimum capability of the fabric. Physico-mechanical properties with the proportion of increasing polyester components in fabrics improves areal density (184 to 199 g/m2), strength (almost 19 times in weft direction), drape (0.655% to 0.789%), and flexural rigidity (almost double). On the other hand, increasing comfortability properties with the proportion of cotton components in fabrics improve air permeability (139.85 to 159.58 cc/s/cm2), abrasion (only 3.036% mass loss), and pilling resistance (grading 4 after 2000 cycles). Highlights: Composite yarns made of cotton and polyester provide a method of improving fabric properties for better performance. Higher proportions of cotton make clothes more breathable and less likely to pill and wear out. Polyester parts make fabrics stronger, more durable, and less likely to wear out. Cotton-polyester composites are ideal and have potential for various textile a

We investigated the electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling and vibrational thermal conductivity in the representative MAB compounds, namely MoAlB, WAlB, Tc2AlB2, and Cr2AlB2. The spectral distribution functions of e-ph interaction, obtained through ab initio linear-response calculations, reveal that the electron-phonon coupling values range from low (0.15) to moderate (0.58). With such e-ph coupling, out of the considered compounds, only Tc2AlB2 exhibits a superconducting transition, at 4 K. We further evaluated the thermal conductivity and associated properties like scattering rates, obtained using ab initio and other methodologies. The latter included the iterative solution of the Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation, using hiphive package for advanced optimization and machine learning techniques, and employing maximum likelihood estimation to approximate scattering rates from a limited set of scattering processes. We found that these methods yield nearly identical predictions for thermal conductivity values, with a significant decrease in the computational cost compared to the first-principles methods. We examined interactions arising from both three-phonon (3ph) and four-phonon (4ph) scattering processes. The 4ph interactions demonstrated a smaller yet significant impact on the overall vibrational thermal conductivity, most notably in Tc2AlB2. Our findings indicate that Cr2AlB2 has the highest thermal conductivity across all considered crystal directions, with the thermal conductivity being spatially anisotropic, most pronouncedly in Tc2AlB2. Finally, we show that empirical expressions based on Slack models are well suited for screening the thermal conductivity properties of MAB phases, and can be employed to establish upper and lower limits of their thermal conductivity.

Most studies of droplet impact on liquid pools focus on droplet diameters up to the capillary length (0.27 cm). We break from convention and study extremely large water droplets (1 to 6 cm diameter) falling into a pool of water. We demonstrate that the depth and width of the cavity formed by large droplet impact is greatly influenced by the deformed shape of the droplet at impact (i.e., prolate, spherical, and oblate), and larger droplets amplify this behavior by flattening before impact. In particular, the maximum cavity depth is a function of the Froude number and axis ratio of the droplet just before impact. Further, the cavity depth is more dependent on the droplet height than width, and the maximum cavity diameter is independent of the droplet height. In general, we observe that more oblate droplets result in decreasing cavity depths for a fixed liquid volume. This is because an increase in horizontal droplet diameter results in a reduced impact energy flux and therefore reduced cavity depth.

mechanical properties of fusion welded joints can be improved by refinement of grain size. This study presents the effect of the friction stir welding process on grain refinements (grain size and grain morphology) of aluminum alloy AA2219-To butt welded joints of gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Traditional cold working and heat treatment processes are compared and contrasted with a novel hybrid welding approach, which incorporates the use of Friction Stir Welding (FSW) in unification with the TIG welding. Our analysis encompasses to evaluating the impact of FSW process parameters on grain refinement (grain size and morphology), particularly rotational speed (RPM), traverse speed (feed), and tool pin geometry. Employing the multi-objective Taguchi method, these FSW parameters were optimized to yield superior mechanical properties and quality features. Our results highlight that the introduction of FSW as an adjunct to traditional GTAW, a process referred to as ‘Hybrid Welding’ in this study, can achieve notable grain refinement in the Aluminum alloy welded joints.
