Samples are produced using glass and ceramic fibers layered in several different constructions and punched with needles with varying numbers of barbs. The thermal conductivities are determined at steady state, using a Holometrix guard hot plate at an average applied temperature of 455°C. Statistical results show an ability to predict effective thermal conductivity with greater than 88% accuracy. Important parameters of the model include fabric weight, thickness, porosity, and structure, along with the applied temperature. Results also show that the nine-barbed structure with the highest ceramic content has the greatest potential for thermal insulation at elevated temperatures. }, number={9}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Mohammadi, M and Banks-Lee, P and Ghadimi, P}, year={2003}, month={Sep}, pages={802–808} }

Samples whose properties are analyzed by this equation were constructed from glass and ceramic webs and used in an earlier work to experimentally determine their thermal conductivities. In that experimental work, overall effective thermal conductivities were determined using a guarded hot plate instrument with temperatures ranging from 430 to 480°C. In the theoretical equation presented here, thermal convective heat flow is ignored because of fabric structural conditions, and the conduction component of the overall conductivity is determined by Fricke's equation. Furthermore, the results of Fricke's equation and the overall effective thermal conductivity are used to estimate the radiative thermal conduc tivity of the samples. }, number={10}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Mohammadi, M and Banks-Lee, P and Ghadimi, P}, year={2003}, month={Oct}, pages={896–900} }

Experimental air permeability was determined for 12 multilayer, heterogeneous, needle punched nonwoven materials. Samples were produced using multiple layers of ceramic and glass fibers. The fibers used to produce the ceramic layers for all samples have approximately the same diameter and density as the fibers used to produce the glass layers for all samples. Therefore, the samples were assumed to be multilayer homogeneous fabrics. In this paper, the experimental permeability is measured usingstandard equipment and results are discussed as a function of fabric construction parameters. Results showed that increasingthe fraction of glass and/or the fraction of ceramic content, and increasingthe number of needle barbs all cause a decrease in air permeability. Statistical results showed that the experimental air permeability can be predicted with greater than 99% confidence when using fabric thickness, fraction of glass in the sample, and fabric density as independent variables in the model. }, number={2}, journal={Journal of Industrial Textiles}, author={Mohhammadi, M. and Banks-Lee, P. and Ghadimi, P.}, year={2002}, pages={139–150} }

The Kozeny equation is based on the concept of a hydraulic radius, i.e., a characteristic length parameter. It is limited to structures with porosities less than 0.94. The structures used in this research are intended for use as high temperature insulation and all had porosities of greater than 0.96. The Kozeny equation was therefore modified to extend its usefulness to fabrics with higher porosity. Fabric construction parameters, along with fabric and fiber properties were used as inputs to this model and theoretical air permeability was determined. The effect of number of barbs and layering structure on the determination of theoretical air permeability was also considered and discussed. Statistical analysis was performed showing that fabric thickness, number of needle barbs, mean pore size and fabric density are significant factors in predicting theoretical air permeability. }, number={1}, journal={Journal of Industrial Textiles}, author={Mohammadi, M. and Banks-Lee, P. and Ghadimi, P.}, year={2002}, pages={45–57} }

Samples are made from ceramic and glass with varying layer structures. The density and diameter of all fibers used to make individual webs are approximately the same, and so the fabric samples made from these webs are assumed to be homogeneous, multilayered structures. The porosity of all fabric structures is greater than 0.96. Thus, the theoretical air permeability is based on a modified Kozeny equation. Experimental measurements involve the Frazier air permeability tester. }, number={7}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Mohammadi, M and Banks-Lee, P}, year={2002}, month={Jul}, pages={613–617} }
