As the number of suited operations per mission increases with exploration beyond low Earth orbit (LEO), it is essential that crewmembers conduct suited activities in a manner that enables acceptable performance and minimizes the risk of injury. Currently, knowledge gaps exist in how to dene optimal suit t, how to more effectively incorporate fit into the suit design process, and how fit is related to performance. While it is understood that fit influences suited performance, the relationship between fit and performance has not been quantified. This research effort investigates the effects of spacesuit glove fit on tactile, dexterous, cognitive, and technical flight performance. This study adapted functional performance tasks from the literature and developed novel tasks to assess performance. Through these tasks, the hypothesis that static t (as derived from glove and human anthropometry dimensions) is related to performance in spacesuit glove was evaluated.
Subjects wore prototype gloves, developed by David Clark Company, Incorporated (DCCI). These gloves are similar to the DCCI Orion Crew Survival System intravehicular activity (IVA) gloves that will be utilized on NASA's Orion spacecraft. Participants completed a battery of functional assessment tasks in a glovebox vacuum chamber (4.3 psid). The subject's prescribed fit within the DCCI glove sizing scheme specfic to this design was determined using their anthropometry. The subjects then conducted the tasks in gloves one size below their prescribed fit, their prescribed fit size, and gloves one size larger than their prescribed t in both a pressurized and unpressurized state. To evaluate general tactility, blindfolded subjects attempted to detect bumps of dierent widths (0.59 in, 0.39 in, 0.20 in) and heights (0.05 in, 0.20 in,0.39 in) while the correct detection was recorded. An operationally-relevant tactility task was also designed.
A mock spacecraft control panel was created in consultation with subject matter experts and designed to NASA specification. Blindfolded subjects then actuated a pre-defined sequence of these controls on the switchboard. The accuracy and completion time of the sequence was recorded. To evaluate general dexterity, subjects completed a pegboard task, which required moving and rotating pegs between locations on the board. Dexterity was also measured using a functional tool task where subjects attached and detached an extravehicular activity (EVA) tether hook to fixtures designed to NASA specification. For both dexterity tasks completion time was recorded. The Draper real-time performance metrics workstation lunar landing simulator was used to assess technical flight performance and mental workload (through a secondary task response time measure).
It was found that direct measures of static fit derived from hand length and glove length had a signicant relationship to performance on the switchboard tactility task. Additionally, it was found that in the unpressurized case, subjects performed significantly better on the switchboard task when wearing the glove size larger than the prescribed fit as compared to small and prescribed fit. No consistent signicant relationships with respect to glove sizing were found for the dexterity tasks or the the lunar landing simulator task. This study also rearms tactile and dexterous performance decreases with a spacesuit glove pressurization, with tactile performance also decreasing with the addition of unpressurized gloves over barehanded conditions.

In this study I analyze the influence of national culture in project performance. Specifically, I examine if national culture influences project performance and which cultural dimensions affect project performance. Methodologically, I conducted an empirical study, based in a final sample of 271 project managers and project occurred in 39 different countries. The results showed that cultural dimensions, power distance and future orientation have a negative impact in project performance, and gender egalitarianism has a positive impact in project performance. This study has a theoretical and practical contribution. This study is intended, for one hand, to contribute to the advance of literature in project management and on the other, help project managers preparing for cultural diversity, increasingly common in the projects.

Introduction: The planet's climate change may raise the average temperature in all regions of Brazil. As there has been an increase in the insertion of technological innovations of communication and information (news ICT) in educational institutions, which can contribute to the increase in thermal radiation, it is therefore important to investigate how this increase in these environments may interfere with the comfort and performance of students. In the equation formulated by Fanger (1970), the thermal radiation factor is represented by the mean radiant temperature (Trm), but its impact on thermal comfort is often ignored. The globe temperature (Tg) is one of the variables of the equations for the calculation of the mean radiant temperature. It corresponds to the temperature that allows evaluating the level of thermal radiation of the existing surfaces in an environment where a significant difference between the globe temperature and the temperature of the air can demonstrate some increase of thermal radiation in the work environment. Objective: To investigate if the behavior of the globe temperature in relation to the air temperature (Tg-Ta), observing the variation of the mean radiant temperature, could have repercussion in the performance of students in intelligent teaching environments in areas of the Brazil's regions. Methods: The methodological procedures adopted in this work consisted of the following steps: analysis of thermal variables: Trm and (Tg-Ta); analysis of students' performance, analysis of architectural elements and construction of the mathematical model. The study was carried out in computerized laboratories with News ICT in the following institutions: UFPI, Teresina-Piauí (A); UFSC, Florianópolis-Santa Catarina (B); UnB, Brasília-Federal District (C); UNIVASF, Petrolina-Pernambuco (D); ICMC, São Carlos-SP (E); UFAM, Manaus-Amazonas (F); CE of the PM, João Pessoa, Paraíba (G). The students answered a questionnaire adapted from the Bateria de Provas de Raciocínio (BPR-5) on three consecutive days at different temperatures, while the thermal conditions were measured and the design and architectural elements were analyzed. Results: It was verified that in the three consecutive days, there was no heat exchange by radiation between the student and his environment in the laboratories of institutions C and F, demonstrating that in the other laboratories of institutions A, B, E and G there was heat exchange by radiation. It is noteworthy that in the laboratory of institution G this heat exchange was more pronounced, such that the mean radiant temperature at any given time exceeded the globe temperature at 2.25°Chcg/ 𝜀𝑔𝜎. However, their architectural analysis signaled that the design was adequate. So probably, the heat sources inside the laboratory should have provided increased thermal radiation, given that the number of students and laptops were representative. Thus, in the sense of confirming these findings, it was verified through the mathematical modeling that with each increase of one degree in the difference between the globe temperature and the air temperature (Tg-Ta), the students' performance in the computer laboratory of the Institution G decreased by around 29%. Therefore, the higher the mean radiant temperature, the higher the thermal radiation in this laboratory, and this increase may compromise student performance. Conclusion: Productivity may change due to changes in air temperature in air-conditioned teaching environments, as has already been demonstrated by international publications. In this specific case, if Tg >> Ta, the thermal radiation may possibly interfere with the performance of people present in environments equipped with technological innovations in communication and information (News ICT).
Introdução: As alterações climáticas do planeta poderão elevar ainda mais a temperatura média em todas as regiões do Brasil, e como tem havido um crescimento da inserção de inovações tecnológicas de comunicação e informação (news ICT) em ambientes de ensino, o que pode colaborar para o aumento da radiação térmica, torna-se assim importante investigar como esse aumento nesses ambientes poderá interferir no conforto e desempenho de estudantes. Na equação formulada por Fanger (1970), o fator de radiação térmica é representado pela temperatura radiante média (Trm), mas seu impacto sobre o conforto térmico é muitas vezes ignorado. A temperatura de globo (Tg) é uma das variáveis das equações para o cálculo da temperatura radiante média e a mesma corresponde a temperatura que permite avaliar o nível de radiação térmica das superfícies existentes em um ambiente donde uma diferença significativa entre a temperatura de globo e a temperatura do ar pode demonstrar certo aumento da radiação térmica no ambiente de trabalho. Objetivo: Investigar se a relação entre a temperatura de globo e a temperatura do ar (Tg-Ta), observando a variação da temperatura radiante média, poderá ter repercussão no desempenho de estudantes em ambientes inteligentes de ensino (News ICT) em áreas das regiões brasileiras. Métodos: Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados neste trabalho consistiram nas etapas: análise das variáveis térmicas: trm e (tg-ta); análise do desempenho dos estudantes, análise dos elementos arquitetônicos e construção do modelo matemático. O estudo foi realizado em laboratórios de informática climatizados com News ICT nas seguintes instituições: UFPI, Teresina-Piauí (A); UFSC, Florianópolis-Santa Catarina (B); UnB, Brasília-Distrito Federal (C); UNIVASF, Petrolina-Pernambuco (D); ICMC, São Carlos-SP (E); UFAM, Manaus-Amazonas (F); CE da PM, João Pessoa, Paraíba (G). Os estudantes responderam a um questionário adaptado da Bateria de Provas de Raciocínio (BPR-5) em três dias consecutivos a diferentes temperaturas, enquanto as condições térmicas eram medidas e o projeto e elementos arquitetônicos eram analisados. Resultados: Constatou-se que nos três dias consecutivos só não houve troca de calor por radiação entre o estudante e seu ambiente nos laboratórios das instituições C e F, demonstrando que nos outros laboratórios das instituições A, B, D, E e G houve troca de calor por radiação. Ressalta-se que no laboratório da instituição G essa troca de calor foi mais acentuada, tal que a temperatura radiante média em dado instante superou a temperatura de globo em 2,25 °C hcg/ 𝜀𝑔𝜎. Entretanto, sua análise arquitetônica sinalizou que o projeto tinha mais aspectos positivos.Logo, provavelmente as fontes de calor no interior do laboratório devem ter proporcionado aumento da radiação térmica, haja vista que o número de estudantes e laptops eram representativos. Assim, no sentido de confirmar esses achados, constatou-se através da modelagem matemática que a cada aumento de um grau na diferença entre a temperatura de globo e a temperatura do ar (Tg-Ta), o desempenho dos estudantes no laboratório de informática da instituição G diminuía em torno de 29%, constatando que, quanto maior a temperatura radiante média, maior será a radiação térmica nesse laboratório, e esse aumento poderá comprometer o desempenho dos estudantes. Conclusão: Como a produtividade pode sofrer alterações devido às mudanças de temperatura do ar em ambientes de ensino climatizados, conforme já comprovado por publicações internacionais, neste caso específico, se Tg>>Ta, possivelmente a radiação térmica poderá interferir no desempenho das pessoas presentes em ambiente providos de inovações tecnológicas de comunicação e informação (News ICT).

Повний текст джерелаCHAPTER 2: It evaluated itself the effect of the shade, in commercial feedlot beef cattle, about the average weight gain (AWG) and performance of carcass. They were utilized 156 animals Nelores (Bos Indicus) and Nelore-cross, with average initial weight 396 kg, divided in two pens, a shading with 90 animals (handling) and another not shady with 66 (witness); counts on occurred in two moments to the 77 days and to the 118 days of confinement. The food composed itself of a feed with urea, crumb of soy and supplement premix of a commercial brand, that was placed on top to the sorghum tillage and added of lump of cotton and sorghum in grain shredded and supplied "ad-libitum". It determined itself the extreme temperatures (maximum and most minimum); temperature of the dry bulb and wet bulb; temperature of the Black Globe Thermometer in the shade and to the sun; speed of the wind and precipitation. These facts were utilized in the determination of four indices of thermal environment (Temperature-Humidity Index - THI; Wet Bulb Globe Temperature - WBGT; Equivalent Temperature Index - ETI and Heat Load Index - HLI) for verification of the possibility of thermal stress. The animal performance was obtained by the weighing in the beginning of the confinement and when the animals were sold; also was considered the performance of carcass to the 118 days, in the second counts on. It applied analysis of variance and Tukey´s Test at 5%, being the variable I earn of weight corrected by the co-variance by means of the initial weight. Bovines Nelore and Nelore-cross, confined commercially with access in the shade, gains more of weight with 77 days. With 118 days the difference in earn of weight was not significant, but the performance of carcass of the animals of the shady pen was bigger.
CAPÍTULO 2: Avaliou-se o efeito da sombra, em confinamento comercial de bovinos, sobre o ganho de peso médio (GPM) e o rendimento de carcaça. Foram utilizados 156 animais nelores e anelorados, com peso inicial médio de 396 kg, divididos em dois currais, um sombreado com 90 animais e outro não sombreado com 66. O abate ocorreu em dois momentos, aos 77 dias e aos 118 dias de confinamento. A alimentação compunha-se de uma ração com uréia, farelo de soja e núcleo de uma empresa comercial, que era sobreposta à silagem de sorgo e acrescida de caroço de algodão e sorgo em grão triturado e fornecida ―ad-libitum‖. Determinaram-se as temperaturas extremas (máxima e mínima); temperatura do bulbo seco e bulbo úmido; temperatura do globotermômetro à sombra e ao sol; velocidade do vento e índice pluviométrico. Estes dados foram utilizados na determinação de quatro índices de ambiente térmico (Índice de Temperatura e Umidade - ITU; Índice de Temperatura e Globo Úmido - ITGU; Índice de Temperatura Equivalente - ITE e Índice de Carga Térmica - ICT) para verificação da possibilidade de estresse térmico. O desempenho animal foi obtido pela pesagem no início do confinamento e no momento da venda dos animais. Também foi considerado o rendimento de carcaça aos 118 dias. Aplicou-se análise de variância e Teste de Tukey a 5%, sendo a variável ganho de peso corrigida pela covariância por meio do peso inicial. Concluiu-se que o acesso à sombra de animais da raça nelore e anelorados, confinados comercialmente, favorece maior ganho de peso aos 77 dias e maior rendimento de carcaça aos 118 dias de confinamento.

The interfaces of handle and glove are very important in human factors engineering. Glove can not only protect palm from the harm of stabbing, beating and whipping, but also influence the fencers’ performance. This research probes into the influences of the material, thickness and position of applying force of the glove upon the fencer's grip, pinches strength and accuracy. By using the shape of handle as the fundamental element, under different shapes of handles the influences on the muscles of holding the foil and the activity angles of wrist are discussed. The results show that in accuracy, pinch and grip strength, the performance of special gloves made by synthetic leather are better than the performance of hide gloves or bared hand. The different shapes of handles cause the different load on the muscles of holding the foil. The load of adductor pollicis while using pistol-viscounti and pistol-insulation handle is smallest. And, the load of extensor carpi radial while using pistol-viscounti, pistol-zivcovic, and pistol-extra handle is smaller. By using different shapes of handles with the same whip-hit activities, we found that the angle of wrist flexion performed by the pistol-viscounti handle is the widest (60.04 degree) and by the french handle is the narrowest (47.27 degree in average) than by all the other handles. When the angle of wrist is too wide the accuracy and velocity of fencing will be decreased and the opportunity of wrist injury will be increased. Therefore, fencers should adopt the posture which brings them greater grip and pinch strength while holding the foil defense, such as sixth and second positions. Then the holding fatigue caused by the muscular strength of sword can be prevented.

The cultural ecology of puppetry can be divided into four types: sacrificial theater, commercial theater, cultural field and mass media. As the forms differ, the operational strategies for the troupes are made accordingly. This study used the glove puppetry troupes that were selected to enter the Sponsorship Plan for Multi-level Performance Arts Teams from 2014 to 2018, to discuss the troupes’ operational strategies in depth. This study chooses two developing glove puppetry troupes --- Liao Wen-Ho Puppet Show Troupe and Taipei Puppet Theater for a qualitative study. Liao Wen-Ho Puppet Show Troupe has performed on the Jin-Guang Stage for many years, and has been on televisions, while Taipei Puppet Theater is a traditional glove puppetry troupe that is both mature and developing. The goal of this study is to use the two research objects in four venues: sacrificial theater, commercial theater, cultural field and mass media, to gain a deep understanding of the organizational, operational, HR management, troupe management, and financial management models of glove puppetry troupes that give public cultural performance. This study also includes a report of the in-depth interview with The National Culture and Arts Foundation and The Performance Art Branch of The Cultural Affairs Department of Yunlin County on topics such as the reform of the Sponsorship for Multi-level Performance Arts Teams, cultural policies relevant to glove puppetry, and artistic sponsorship. The purpose of the interview is to analyze the development of artistic grants and cultural policies related to glove puppetry, and to compare and contrast the answers with issues raised by the puppetry troupes. The information will help us understand the overall status, dilemmas and prospects of the glove puppetry world. The discussion and results presented in this study may provide suggestions and references for cultural administrative agencies, grant and sponsorship agencies and actors in glove puppetry.

Introduction Contact dermatitis is one of the occupational health problems of hairdressers. This particular skin symptom might due to the exposure to certain hair dye ingredients, such as p-phenylenediamine (p-phenylenediamine, PPD) and aminophenol isomers (m-aminophenol, MAP; o-aminophenol, OAP; p-aminophenol, PAP). These chemicals are also formulated in the commercial permanent hair dye products in Taiwan. Hair dressers tend to reuse the protective gloves during the hair-dying process. The aim of this study was to evaluate impact on the protective efficiency of two chemical protective gloves by being reused and decontaminated between exposures. Method Two glove materials, neoprene and natural rubber latex (NRL) were tested. PPD, MAP, OAP, and PAP were the challenged chemicals. The permeation tests were performed as the closed-loop setting of ASTM F739 method. The glove specimens were continuously exposed to the each challenge chemical for eight hours a day. The permeation sample was taken tested every hour. Water with or without detergent were applied to decontaminated the glove surfaces after the 8-hour exposure. Re-exposure for five days was defined as a cycle. Each cycle repeated three experiments and forty-eight cycles were performed for this study. All permeation samples were quantified by the gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The breakthrough time (BT) was reported as the sampling time at which the challenge chemical was first detected. The cumulative permeated mass (CPM) and the 8-hour average permeation rate (PR) were also calculated and reported. All the three permeation parameters were the key dependent variables to evaluate the glove protection efficiency. Result No chemicals broke through neoprene glove materials during the exposure of first two days and PAP showed no breakthrough on the following three days of exposure. Four test chemicals broke through NRL glove materials within the first 8-hour exposure. Once the chemical started permeating, the chemical tended to break through earlier with higher PR and CMP during the following re-exposure experiments for both test glove materials. According to the results of five-day re-exposure permeation tests, neoprene gloves can provide better protection to against these four hair dye ingredients than NRL gloves can. Linear mixed models (LMMs) demonstrated that the days of repeated exposure significantly affected the glove protection efficiency. Two different decontamination methods did not change the permeation parameters significantly. The challenge concentration (w/v%) of chemical significantly affected the BT. Chemical physical and chemical characteristics also affected BT, CPM and PR. Statistically, molar volume (MV) and logkow of chemicals were positively correlated to BT while logkow negatively correlated to CPM and PR for neoprene glove materials. MV and logkow were negatively affected the BT while positively affected the CPM and PR for NRL glove materials. Conclusion NRL gloves are not recommended to handle these hair dye chemicals for re-use purpose. Neoprene gloves show no breakthrough for 2-day (8-hours per day). The simple water decontamination is recommended without the extra cost of detergents and possible secondary pollution.

Повний текст джерелаO stresse térmico é um problema comum a nível industrial. Qualquer avaliação ao nível do stresse térmico requer uma avaliação de diferentes condições climáticas, especialmente da humidade, temperatura e velocidade do ar e a temperatura média radiante. O índice WBGT (“Wet Bulb Globe Temperature”) é um dos mais utilizados na medição do stresse térmico, pois é um índice de cálculo rápido e útil em ambientes quentes, permitindo assim saber quando actuar e proteger os trabalhadores. A temperatura de globo negro, a temperatura do ar e a temperatura de bolbo húmido natural, constituem as grandezas que permitem obter o índice WBGT. Os aparelhos de medição diferem na forma e no tamanho, de modelo para modelo, o que pode levar a que alguns aparelhos não cumpram as especificações do projecto e forneçam dados incorrectos nas medições. O sensor de globo negro é a componente deste sistema de medida sobre o qual vai incidir este estudo, sendo que os sensores de globo podem variar entre os 24mm e os 150mm, mas apenas estes últimos respeitam a norma internacional ISO 7243. Com esta dissertação pretende-se esclarecer se quando calculado o stresse térmico, vão existir diferenças entre os vários sensores de globo, abordando os seus diferentes tamanhos e designs através de ensaios experimentais com os equipamentos disponíveis e ver de que forma são afectados os resultados obtidos, assim como desenvolver uma equação empírica que faça a correspondência entre as temperaturas medidas por diferentes globos e o globo padrão. Verificou-se que as temperaturas obtidas pelos globos de 150mm são superiores aos valores obtidos pelo globo de 50mm e dessa forma a utilização de equipamentos inferiores ao standard (150mm) não são eficazes na avaliação do índice WBGT, a não ser que o próprio equipamento faça a calibração automática para os valores padrão e aceites pela norma.
The thermal stress is a common problem at industrial level. Any evaluation of the level of heat stress requires an assessment of different climatic conditions, especially of humidity, temperature and air velocity. The WBGT index (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) is the most widely used at present in the measurement of thermal stress, because it is an index of rapid calculation and useful in hot environments and thus know when act and protect workers. The black globe temperature, the air temperature and the natural wet bulb temperature are the quantities that can be used to obtain the WBGT index. The measurement apparatus differ in shape and size from model to model, which can lead to some devices do not meet the specifications of the project and provide incorrect data of measurements. The black globe temperature is the component of this measurement system on which will focus this study, being that the sensors of globe can vary between 10mm and 150mm but only the latter complies with the international standard ISO 7243. With this dissertation seeks to clarify that when calculated the heat stress, there are differences between the various sensors of globe addressing their different sizes and designs, seeing how they are affected the results obtained as well as develop an empirical equation to make the correspondence between the temperatures measured by different globes and the standard globe. It was found that the temperatures obtained by globes of 150mm are higher than the values obtained by globe 50mm and thus the use of equipment below the standard (150mm) are not effective in the evaluation of WBGT index, unless the equipment itself make the automatic calibration for the default values and accepted by the standard.

O revestimento polimérico onde estas foram incorporadas é constituído, essencialmente, por borracha de acrilonitrilo-butadieno (NBR) carboxilada, que antes da vulcanização é aplicada na luva têxtil sob forma de uma emulsão polimérica estável. Tendo em conta a natureza das fibras, estas possuem elevado grau de hidrofilicidade, e a NBR carboxilada, apesar de possuir grupos hidrofílicos, é sobretudo hidrofóbica. Assim, a estratégia passou não só por tentar criar forças repulsivas entre as fibras, com o objetivo de impedir a sua agregação, mas também por promover uma boa interação das fibras com a NBR. Testaram-se vários métodos de dispersão, nomeadamente a utilização de um homogeneizer, a tecnologia de banho de ultrassons e ponteira de ultrassons, a adição de tensioativos não iónicos à suspensão polimérica, com diferentes concentrações, e, por último, realizou-se a funcionalização das fibras inorgânicas, recorrendo à química sol-gel e ao precursor metiltrimetoxisilano (MTMS). De seguida, avaliou-se a redispersibilidade das fibras inorgânicas na suspensão polimérica ao longo do tempo. Os métodos mais eficazes de dispersão foram a utilização da ponteira de ultrassons e a adição do polímero polietilenoglicol (PEG-3000, 1% em massa) à suspensão de fibras. Com estes dois métodos, mesmo após 31 dias de repouso, as fibras apresentaram redispersibilidade na matriz polimérica. Para analisar a estabilidade das dispersões, realizaram-se testes de potencial zeta. Verificou-se uma melhoria significativa nas dispersões após aplicação destes métodos relativamente às amostras dispersas apenas com agitação mecânica (-32,4 mV). O melhor resultado foi obtido para as amostras com fibras dispersas com ponteira de ultrassons (-63,1 mV), passando de uma estabilidade média para uma estabilidade muito boa. Realizaram-se testes de resistência ao corte às amostras vulcanizadas e concluiu-se que esta é incrementada após a incorporação de fibras inorgânicas nos revestimentos poliméricos, passando de um nível de corte 1 para um nível 3 (segundo a norma ASTM F1790-97). Assim, esta tecnologia acrescenta valor ao produto final, a um custo muito reduzido, face aos custos de produção de luvas têxteis resistentes ao corte que utilizam fibras técnicas. Os testes de corte permitiram ainda verificar que a variabilidade dos resultados diminui significativamente para as amostras com fibras dispersas com ponteira de ultrassons e com a adição do tensioativo não iónico PEG-3000 (1% em massa). Conclui-se, portanto, que as amostras utilizadas em cada teste são semelhantes entre si, pelo que as fibras se encontram homogeneamente dispersas na matriz polimérica. O trabalho realizado nesta dissertação permitiu desenvolver dois métodos de dispersão de fibras eficazes para o processo produtivos de luvas da Ansell com revestimentos poliméricos incorporando fibras inorgânicas. A adição do PEG-3000 (1% em massa) é de fácil implementação e não requer custos adicionais significativos no processo de produção, mas para ser aplicado em todos os produtos da Ansell, teria de ser avaliado o impacto deste nas propriedades finais dos produtos. A tecnologia de ultrassons também é de fácil implementação a nível industrial, requer custos de investimento relevantes, mas tem a vantagem de poder ser utilizado em qualquer um dos artigos produzidos pela Ansell.
This MSc Thesis is framed on the development and continuous improvement vision of the research and development department (R&D) of Ansell Portugal. This company is the leader of solutions for hands and arms protection, and the goal of the R&D department is to answer the needs of clients, through the development of new products that have high performance, comfort, and offer protection and safety to users. The goal of this project is to evaluate the impact of the incorporation of inorganic fibers in the polymer coatings of textile gloves on their resistance to cut. In order to obtain the final product with the desired mechanical resistance and take advantage of the fibers great properties, thelatter need to be well dispersed in the polymeric suspension. The inorganic fibers used in this project belong to the group of mineral fibers from the aluminosilicate series. The polymer coating where they were incorporated is essentially constituted by carboxilated acrylonitile-butadiene (NBR) rubber that is applied on the textile glove in the form of a stable polymeric emulsion, followed by vulcanization. Considering the nature of the fibers, they have a high hydrophilicity. On the other hand, the carboxilated NBR, although it has hydrophilic groups, is mostly hydrophobic. Therefore, the strategy was not only to creat repulsive forces between the fibers, with the objective of preventing their agglomeration, but also to promote a good interaction between fibers and NBR. Several methods of dispersion were tested, such as using an homogeneizer, an ultrasound bath, an ultrasound tip, addition of a non-ionic tensioactive to the polymeric suspension with diferent concentrations and the functionalization of the inorganic fibers with the use of sol-gel chemistry using the methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) precursor. Then, the redispersibility of the inorganic fibers in the polymeric suspension was evealuated over time. The most effective dispersion methods were the use of the ultrasonic tip and the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG-3000, 1% wt) to the fibers suspension. With these two methods, even after 31 days of resting, the fibers show redispersibility in the polymeric matrix. In order to analyze the stability of the dispersions, potencial zeta tests were carried out. A significant improvement was verified in the optimized dispersions comparatively to the dispersed samples with only mechanical mixing (-32,4 mV). The best result was obtained for the dispersed fiber samples with the ultrasonic tip (-63,1 mV), going from a medium to a very good stability. Cut resistance tests to the vulcanized samples were carried out, and the gloves performance increased after incorporating the inorganic fibers in the polymer coating, ranging from a cut level 1 to 3 (according to ASTM F1790-97). Thus, this tecnology adds value to the final product, at a very low cost, when compared to the production cost of the textile gloves using tecnical fibers with cut resistance. The cut test allowed to verify that the variability was significantly decreased for the fiber samples dispersed with the ultrasonic tip and with the addition of the non-ionic tensioactive PEG-3000 (1% wt). Thereby the used samples in the tests are similar to each other, and the fibers are homogeneously dispersed in the polymeric matrix. The study performed in this MSc Thesis allowed to develop two efficient fiber dispersion methods for the Ansell glove production process with the incorporation of inorganic fibers in polymer coating. The non-ionic tensioactive PEG-3000 (1% wt) is easily added and does not require significant additional costs in the production process, but to be used in every Ansell’s product its impact in the final properties must be assessed. Also, the ultrasound technology is easily implemented at industrial level, although it requires an additional investiment, and can be used in other products manufactured by Ansell.
