This paper surveys the physical properties of aramid and aramid/nylon hybrid air-jet textured yarns(ATY) for protective garments according to wet and dry texturing conditions. Aramid and nylon filaments were used to make two kinds of para-aramid ATY and four kinds of aramid/nylon hybrid ATY with dry and wet treatments. The analyzed physical properties of six specimens (made on the ATY machine) are as follows. The tenacity and initial modulus of aramid and aramid/nylon hybrid ATY decreased with the wetting and breaking strain; however, the yarn linear density of aramid and hybrid ATY increased with wetting treatment. The dry and wet thermal shrinkage of the hybrid ATY increased with wetting. The stability of aramid and hybrid ATY also increased with wetting. The physical properties of core/effect type hybrid ATY showed significantly more change than the core type hybrid ATY and the physical properties of nylon/aramid core/effect hybrid ATY showed significantly more change than the of aramid/nylon core/effect hybrid ATY. A higher bulky and breaking strain of hybrid ATY require ATY processing conditions of nylon on the core part with wetting and aramid on the effect part. ATY processing conditions for nylon and aramid on the core part with wetting are required for a higher tenacity and modulus. ATY processing conditions of nylon and aramid on the core with no wetting are required for a low thermal shrinkage.

This paper presents the results of a reduced-scale physical model investigation into the behavior of retaining walls subject to cycles of wetting and drying due to rainfall infiltration. Reduced-scale model walls equipped with a water spraying system that can simulate the wetting process were first constructed and a series of tests were conducted with due consideration of different rainfall intensities and backfill soil types. The results indicate that cycles of wetting and drying process have adverse effects on the wall behavior, increasing wall deformation as well as earth pressure acting on the wall, and that the first cycle of wetting and drying process has more pronounced effect on the wall performance than the ensuing cycles. It is also shown that the degree to which the wetting and drying cycles affect the wall behavior depends greatly on the backfill soil type, and that the larger the fine contents, the greater is the effect of cycles of wetting and drying on the wall behavior. Practical implications of the findings from this study are discussed in great detail.

Pt nanotubes with diameter of 200 nm were fabricated by simple and convenient method of Template-Wetting Process. Porous alumina membranes were prepared by 2 step anodic oxidation as the template. To improve wetting properties and lower surface energy, pt solution was mixed with polymer. Polymer was removed completely during annealing. Grain growth process of pt nanotubes during baking and furnace annealing was examined by FE-SEM and XRD.

Wall wetting phenomenon in the intake port of an MPI engine was investigated with different kinds of injectors by an A/F step response test and analysis was done based on the simple wall wetting model to find out a certain correlation between wall wetting and A/F variations. It was found that (1) At fully warmed condition of 90.deg.C water temperature, around 40-60% of injected fuel was wall wetted, (2) At cold condition of 45.deg.C Water temperature, around 68-80% of injected fuel was wall wetted, and (3) A/F variations during acceleration and deceleration were influenced by the wetting area, the fuel droplet size, and the amount of wall wetting fuel.

The effect of the several variables on wetting of AISIB1113 steel by molten glass was studied by Sessible-drop method. Experimental variables were temperature, firing atmospheres, Fe2O3 addition to the sealing glass and steel surface conditions. The degree of wetting in terms of contact angles between molten glass and metal tested at different test conditions was analyzed by using Young's equation. The results showed that contact angles in H2 atmosphere in the glass metal systems were high but in N2 atmosphere, were small for studied glass metal systems. Especially, when the glass drop was in contact with oxidized steel in N2 atmosphere, The best adherence with contact angle of approximately 9°was obtained. In the case of Fe2O3 addition in glass contact angles subtantially increased due to the increase of surface tension of glass. Wetting phenomena were also discussed under the basis of these experimental results.

The influence of a single fracture intersection on density-driven immiscible flow is compared between wetting (water into air) and nonwetting (Trichloroethylene into water) flows. At low supply rates, the intersection acted as a hysteretic gate to pulsed flow of the wetting phase, but had minimal influence on nonwetting phase flow. For both cases, increasing the supply rate led to the formation of continuous fluid tendrils that crossed the intersection without interruption. The wetting experiment returned to pulsed flow as the supply rate was decreased, while the nonwetting experiment maintained a continuous flow structure. Results suggest a fundamental difference between wetting and nonwetting phase flows in fracture network.

Nanotubes and microtubes of ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) were synthesized by means of a simple and convenient process called a template-wetting process. Nanoporous alumina and macroporous Si were used as template materials to fabricate the corresponding tubes. For the improvement of the wetting properties of the wetting solution, the PZT solution was mixed with a polymer. The polymer was removed completely during annealing. The grain growth processes of the PZT nanotubes during baking and furnace annealing were examined by means of field emission electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD).

Two-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films with wavy patterns were studied in order to investigate reversible and irreversible wetting effects. Pre-strained, surface oxidized layers of PDMS were used to form relieved wavy geometries, on which hydrophobic functionalization was carried out in order to produce irreversible wetting effects. Wavy-patterned PDMS films showed time-dependent reversible wetting effects. The degree of surface wettability could be tuned by the choice of wavy groove geometries. And the groove geometries were controlled via $O_2$ plasma treatment and mechanical pre-straining. The pre-strained, buckled PDMS films were applied to the fabrication of hydrophobic polystyrene nano-patterns using colloidal self-assembly, where the colloids were arrayed in two-dimensional way. The wavy polystyrene films were found to be more hydrophobic relative to flat polystyrene films. The grooving methodology used in this study could be applied to enhancing the hydrophobicity of other types of polymeric thin films, eliminating the need for chemical treatment.

In this study, the fluidity and compressive strength of lightweight mortar using recycling water for pre-wetting of artificial lightweight aggregate were compared and analyzed to maximize the utilization of the recycling water, which is a by-product of the Ready-Mixed Concrete industry. For this purpose, the pre-wetting water was replaced with recycling water at the ratio of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%.

The development and testing of inspection equipment is necessary for the safe deployment of advanced nuclear reactors. One proposed advanced reactor design is Westinghouse's lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR). In this paper, the process of achieving adequate wetting for an ultrasonic under-lead viewing system is discussed and results presented. Such a device would be used for inspection in the molten lead core during reactor outages. Wider tests into the wetting of various materials in molten lead at microscale were performed using electron microscopy. The possible mechanisms and kinetics for materials wetting in lead, particularly stainless steel and nickel, are proposed and discussed.
