  • Publication number: 20210087714
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber of the Lyocell type which has a titer of from 0.8 dtex to 3.3 dtex and is characterized by the following relationships: Höller factor F2?1, preferably ?2 Höller factor F1??0.6 Höller factor F2?6 and Höller factor F2 minus 4.5*Höller factor F1?1, preferably ?3. The fiber according to the invention displays a specific combination of properties with regard to the Höller factors, the flexibility and the abrasion resistance within a planar assembly. Hence, the fiber shows a behavior more similar to viscose and can be processed in the textile chain according to viscose standard methods.

  • Publication number: 20040096930
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring biotechnological processes involving microorganisms, said method being characterized in that both the process medium and the microorganisms are directly spectroscoped in said medium by means of attenuated total reflection (ATR) at an ATR crystal whereby microorganisms come at least to a distance from the ATR crystal which corresponds to the evanescent field's depth of penetration, IR spectroscopy being carried out during this time interval, thereupon the microorganisms-containing medium being removed from the ATR crystal which then is washed and its contact is optionally renewed with the microorganisms-containing process medium, and moreover the invention relates to apparatus with which to carry out said method.
