Good morning! I just wanted to let everyone know that I've posted my Master's thesis, titled 'Study of Abrasion on Performance of Lightweight Water Impermeable Coated Textiles'. A few people have asked if it would be available once everything was done, and I've got a brief summary of what I did and a PDF copy posted on my site.
A quick overview of what I did:
- Evaluate several different silnylons and other backpacking fabrics for how waterproof they are, but in a unique way.
- Test how waterproof these fabrics are not just new, but after extended aging to simulate advanced tarp age.
- Got some really cool images of new and used fabric with an electron microscope!
- Finished up my Master's degree in the process.
Feel free to head over to my site to take a look! I'm happy to answer any questions.
