This data article shows how the recombinant Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are located in the interstices of the matrix fibers of a CellTank bioreactor after completion of a perfusion culture, supporting the article entitled "Very high cell density perfusion of CHO cells anchored in a non-woven matrix-based bioreactor" by Zhang et al. [1]. It provides a visualization of the cell distribution...

Abstract Fiberglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) composite materials for ships that are widely used marine-grade unsaturated polyester resin matrix and combimat fiber, a combination of chopped strand mat (CSM) woven roving (WR) fibers. Although less popular than marine CSM–WR, biaxial warp-knitted glass fabrics have the potential to be applied as fiber laminates ship hull materials. A comparative ...

This paper discusses the potential use of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to improve the mechanical properties of short glass fiber composites. Two methods to incorporate MWCNTs in short glass fiber composite fabrication were examined. First, Carboxylic-functionalized MWCNTs were dispersed in a silane fiber sizing material and then were allowed to bond to the surface of glass fibers. Sec...

statement of problem: microleakage is one of the most important problems in composite restorations. one way to reduce the microleakage is decreasing the total amount of resin by insertion of fibers in composite restorations. objectives: this study aimed to compare the microleakage of silorane and methacrylate-based composites (a nanohybrid) in class ii restorations with gingival margins on the ...

1. Abstract Natural fibers are being increasingly used to substitute artificial glass and carbon fibers in polymer composites. It is important to know how the mechanical properties of these natural fiber composites compare with those of the traditional glass and carbon fiber composites. Glass and carbon fiber composites are currently being used in many applications that may not require such hig...

Global illumination plays an important role for the visual appearance of light colored hair. We present a novel approach based on photon mapping which allows an efficient physically based approximation of multiple fiber scattering in hair volumes. Our technique can also be applied to other fiber geometries like fur or woven cloth.

In the present research work, the flexural modulus and strength of glass fiber-epoxy resin and carbon fiber-epoxy resin composites have been enhanced through fiber tension during curing of the polymeric resin. This study showed that the tension applied on the fibers increased the flexural modulus of the glass-epoxy composites up to 12% and the flexural strength up to 19%. The flexural modulus a...

Tensile stress-strain curves a r e obtained at s t rain rates of %lo-'+, ~ 1 0 and c1000/s for carbon, Kevlar and glass fibre woven-reinforced polyester resin compos i tes and the variation of modulus, tensile strength and fracture strain with strain rate is determined. A change in the failure mode at the highest strain rates is observed for the glass but not the carbon or Kevlar reinforced com...

Quasi-static uniform compression tests and low-velocity concentrated impact tests were conducted to reveal the failure mechanisms and energy absorption capacity of two-layer carbon fiber composite sandwich panels with pyramidal truss cores. Three different volume-fraction cores (i.e., with different relative densities) were fabricated: 1.25%, 1.81%, and 2.27%. Two-layer sandwich panels with ide...
