(2) Color Measurement and Control (3) Pigments, Pigmentation and Polypropylene An inspection of the titles will reveal that four of the sections deal with the mechanism of dye transport to the fiber surfaces and into the fiber, while nine others deal with the chemical technology rics associated with particular dye application categories. Some readers will be more interested in technology than m...

The superior oil absorption capacity of recycled polypropylene (PP) fiber and waste tire powder were used to recover spilled engine oil. We used ASTM F726-99 method to evaluate oil adsorbing capability of PP fiber and found it to have a large, rapid oil sorption capacity. However, its lack of elasticity dramatically limited that capacity after repeated use. Tire powder, which absorbs less oil m...

This study evaluated the effect of macro steel fiber (SF), micro glass fiber (GF) and micro polypropylene fiber (PF) in lightweight aggregate concrete, (LWAC) beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars. Firstly, concrete mixtures with different volume fractions of GF, PF and SF were tested up to compressive strength, then determine the optimum fiber content GF, PF and SF a...

This manuscript describes the rapid surface modification of carbon fibers using small molecules for application in polypropylene composites at 10% and 40% weight fractions. Attachment an n-butylphenyl species onto fiber incorporation into homo-polypropylene resulted a significant toughness improvement, 32% 30% fractions respectively, when compared against untreated control samples. Further exam...

This study aims to examine the properties of composites that different carbon materials with different measurements can reinforce. Using a melt compounding method, this study combines polypropylene (PP) and graphene nano-sheets (GNs) or carbon fiber (CF) to make PP/GNs and PP/CF conductive composites, respectively. The DSC results and optical microscopic observation show that both GNs and CF en...

To obtain a tensile strain-hardening behavior by using the ordinary polypropylene (PP) fiber, micromechanical model recommends increase of fiber low interfacial bond with an cementitious matrix. It was predicted that alkali-activated slag (AAS) composite high drying shrinkage performance would affect interface frictional during pullout.

To explore the possibility of providing additional reinforcement to bio-cemented sand through fiber inclusions, a series sand-fiber mixtures were prepared by mixing with three types fibers (polypropylene fiber, basalt and carbon fiber) at different contents (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 0.8% volume sand). Each mixture was subjected two cycles controlled microbial-induced calcite precipitatio...
