by increasing demands on paper products and shortage of fiber resources, various strategies were introduced to meet the requirements. in this context, application of mineral fibers is a novel and growing approach. this study was aimed to reduce the plant fibers by application of, mineral fiber in the papermaking system. application of 0, 10, 20, and 30% loadings of rock wool mineral fibers (rwm...

TSL materials for ground support were initially intended to be used as an alternative to mesh or shotcrete. The first trials on TSL technology were initiated in Canada in the late 1980s (Archibald et al., 1992). Early research led to the development of a polyurethane based product.
