  • Patent number: 11111561
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a preparation method and use of a thickness-controllable bismuth nanosheet and its alloy, in order to solve the technical problems that the existing metal catalysts for the conversion of carbon dioxide to formic acid exhibit a low efficiency, a high overpotential, a relatively positive hydrogen evolution potential, and a poor stability. In the present disclosure, a bismuth nanosheet of a single atom layer thickness with a thickness of only 0.7 nm is obtained through an aqueous solution reduction method by using a bismuth salt compound as a raw material, using ethylene glycol ethyl ether as a solvent, and using a highly reductive aqueous solution containing NaBH4, LiBH4 or the like as a reducing agent, under a protection atmosphere of an inert gas.

  • Patent number: 10640889
    Abstract: A method to form yarn via film fiberizing spinning belongs to a textile technical field. A film cutting device is arranged behind each drafting system on a ring frame, whose cut resistance apron and cutting roller engage with each other to form a cutting zone to cut and fiberize the film to get belt-like multi-filaments. Then the multi-filament formed passes through the first, second and third drafting zones in sequence for drawing, in such a manner that the multi-filament molecular orientation and crystallization are improved. After being drafted, the multi-filaments are twisted into yarn by ring spinning, which provides a novel high-efficient and short-processing way of producing yarns of nano-micro fibers using films instead of conventional nano-spun fibers such as electro- and centrifugal spun fibers, thereby breaking restriction of “low bulk and low-speed production of nano-spun fibers” and integrating the film industry with the textile industry.

  • Patent number: 10053802
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for producing ultra-smooth knitted fabric using hairy yarn belong to a technical field of textile. Yarn is false-twisted in a rotary holding form, for rotating the yarn stem on an ironing face. Meanwhile, a directional hairiness stretching device directionally ejects a steam flow towards the yarn, for reversely and orderly pre-wrapping hairiness on the rotating stem of the yarn, which avoids the yarn imperfection occurrence as the hairiness randomly or vertically wrapping onto the yarn stem. A vortex hair-wrapping device is used, so as to reversely wrap all the rest hairiness on the stem of the yarn, wherein a wrapping direction is opposite to a yarn moving direction for increasing difficulty of pulling out the wrapped hairiness during weft knitting, and increasing hair-wrapping tightness and fastness. The ultra-smooth yarn treatment apparatus is reasonably constructed and easily operated, which facilitates wide application.

  • Patent number: 9575049
    Abstract: A method for accurately testing yarn hairiness through stretching one-directionally, belonging to a technical field of textile testing, is provided. A suction pipe is provided on an external side of a laser and connected with an exhausting fan through a sleeve connector and a hose. An air inlet of the suction pipe generates a negative pressure under an effect of the exhausting fan to laterally suck the yarn running at a tension state among the laser, a projection receiver and the suction pipe. The hairiness on a yarn surface stretches straight one-directionally towards an airflow direction at a height of a center of the air inlet of the suction pipe. The one-directional straight stretched hairiness on the yarn surface is accurately projected to the projection receiver of a testing head at an equal length for accurately testing a hair amount and a hair length.

  • Patent number: 7913483
    Abstract: On each draft element of a ring spinning frame, two pieces of short-staple roving from the roving bobbin enter into the draft mechanism to be drafted though a guide funnel in parallel, two pieces of filament are fed from the back of the front roller, and combine with two pieces of roving at front jaw respectively. The drafted two pieces of roving and filament are output from the front jaw and enter into the twisting triangle area to be twisted, and then are wound onto a yarn bobbin to produce yarn. Based on the relative position of the two pieces of roving and two pieces of filament, different yarns can be produced. Furthermore, multi-component yarn, such as core structure, wrapped structure, strand-like structure, can be produced on a ring spinning frame. The structure of yarn can be precisely determined. Special fiber yarn can be produced on traditional spinning frame.
