Strengthening Plaster Wall Systems

A Portland cement plaster wall system has many positive features, but one of the physical properties that it does not possess is flexural strength. It is because of the inability of the Portland cement plaster membrane to bend or flex that glass fiber strands were used in Portland cementbased plaster. There are various types of synthetic fibers on the market that will provide flexural strength ...

Plaster of Paris

Paris (CaS04)2H20. Excessive heat convey it into anhydrous calcium sulphate CaB^< which takes up water very slowly and does D?. harden and set. 2CaS04.2H20 = (CaSW 2H20+3H20. (CaS04)2H20 = 2CaS 04H2U, Commercial plaster of Paris is manufacture from impure gypsum and therefore contains tn impurities present in the gypsum such as alum10^ iron, silicates, carbonates, lime, etc., which be recognize...

The Mustard Operation

The Mustard Operation is a surgical technique to correct a heart condition called the transposition of the great arteries (TGA). TGA is a birth defect in which the placement of the two arteries, the pulmonary artery, which supplies deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the aorta, which takes oxygenated blood to the body are switched. William Thornton Mustard developed the operation later named f...

[physical Properties of Plaster Bandages].

The physical properties of plaster bandages are a very important factor in achieving the basic functions of immobilization (maintaining bone fragments in the best possible position), which directly affects the speed and quality of fracture healing. This paper compares the differences between the physical properties of plaster bandages (mass, specific weight, drying rate, elasticity and strength...
