Graphene oxide (GO) with extraordinary chemical, thermal and mechanical properties offers possibilities in a variety of applications. Many materials have been fabricated through physical blending of GO with other materials, while, the chemical functionalization of GO has generally been considered challenging. Here, we report the preparation of a novel GO-functionalized fibrous material in which...

We have succeeded to develop a technique enabling molecular level composite treatment by utilizing electrical characteristic (ion) of the materials to form 3D micro-structure, and it can bind three-dimensionally and selectively cross points of continuous (fibriform) object of nanometer size with high-speed and low cost. Application fields of the proposed technique may be fiber process, composit...

This paper employs PVA, PE, steel fibers, as well the hybrids of two three fibers to reinforce alkali-activated slag (AAS) material, aiming prepare strain-hardening and clinker-free composites. The flexural strength, compressive uniaxial tensile performance composites bond behavior between matrix were tested clarify reinforcement effects different on matrix. Strain-hardening AAS materials are o...

The use of a cotton pellet as a spacer or as a medication carrier in the tooth pulp chamber between root canal therapy appointments is an accepted and common practice. Retaining the pellet in the proper position within the tooth is very important. Cellulose fibers from disposable drapes, gowns and cotton can cause foreign body reactions if left in a surgical wound." In addition, cellulose fiber...

Among the many potential applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT), its usage to strengthen polymers has been paid considerable attention due to the exceptional stiffness, excellent strength, and the low density of CNT. This has provided numerous opportunities for the invention of new material systems for applications requiring high strength and high modulus. Precise control over processing factor...
