Abstract:
An article including a woven fabric comprising warp yarns and weft yarns, wherein at least one of either the warp yarns or the weft yarns includes: (a) a corespun elastic base yarn having a denier and including staple fiber and an elastic fiber core; and (b) a separate control yarn selected from the group consisting of a single filament yarn, a multiple filament yarn, a composite yarn, and combinations thereof; having a denier greater than zero to about 0.8 times the denier of the corespun elastic base yarn; wherein the woven fabric includes (1) a ratio of corespun base yarn ends to control yarn ends of up to about 6:1; or (2) a ratio of corespun base yarn picks to control yarn picks of up to about 6:1; or (3) both a ratio of corespun base yarn ends to control yarn ends of up to about 6:1; and a ratio of corespun base yarn picks to control yarn picks of up to about 6:1.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a preparation of polymer with improved color and properties. More particularly, the disclosure relates to the preparation of polyamide by introducing a polyetheramine additive during the polymer extrusion step. The extruded polymer is superior in appearance and spinnable in subsequent processing into yarn.
Abstract:
Flame resistant fabrics made from yarns of cellulose fiber, polyamide fiber, and oxidized polymeric biregional fiber are provided. The fabrics comprise about 20 to about 90 percent by weight of cellulose fiber, about 3 to about 45 percent by weight of polyamide fiber and about 5 to about 35 percent by weight of an oxidized polymeric biregional fiber comprising an oxidized polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile-based homopolymers, acrylonitrile-based copolymers, acrylonitrile-based terpolymers, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
This application describes methods, including non-naturally occurring methods, for biosynthesizing unsaturated pentahydrocarbons, such as isoprene and intermediates thereof, via the mevalonate pathway, as well as non-naturally occurring hosts for producing isoprene.

Abstract:
This document describes biochemical pathways for biosynthesizing a 3-oxo-7-hydroxyheptanoyl-CoA intermediate using a β-ketothiolase, and enzymatically converting 3-oxo-7-hydroxyheptanoyl-CoA to 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid. -7-hydroxyheptanoic acid can be further enzymatically converted to pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine or 1,7-heptanediol. This document also describes recombinant hosts producing 7-hydroxyheptanoic acid as well as pimelic acid, 7-aminoheptanoic acid, heptamethylenediamine and 1,7-heptanediol.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides novel polypeptides with 3-buten-2-ol dehydratase activity, polypeptides with catalytic activity in the conversion of 3-methyl-3-buten-2-ol to isoprene, and crystal structure data for one of such polypeptides. Methods of making and using the polypeptides and their related crystal structure data are also provided.
