In this study the performance of clay nano-particles on the soil reinforced with Polypropylene fibers (PP-fiber) has been investigated. Also a series of investigations concerning the effect of random orientation of fibers on the engineering behaviour of soil were conducted. Soil mixtures were modified with varying percentages of nanoclay and Fibers. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS), Compac...

this study was devoted to the development of pulp luffa cclindrica and its characterization paper (annual plant fiber of the family cucurbitaceae). baking at soda helps to achieve a high level of delignification (kappa ≤ 10) and high yield (≈ 67%).the beatability stack valley is comparable to refined wood fibers, the fibers develop a normally time with good hydrophilic properties without excess...

in this work, old newspaper fibers (onf) bleached with h2o2, treated with koh and treated with naocl were investigated as potential adsorbents. the characterization of the produced fibers using ft-ir, sem and particle size distribution have been carried out and tested for the removal of ni (ii) from aqueous solutions. the results indicated that the fibers treated with koh give the highest %remo...

magnetic lignocellulosic fibers have good potential in applications such as information storage, security papers, electromagnetic shielding and etc. in this study unbleached bagasse fibers were used to fabricate magnetic paper by chemical co-precipitation method. lumen loading and precipitation of magnetic nanoparticles on the surface of fibers were carried out by in situ synthesis. then the fo...

We have shown previously that asbestos and other mineral dusts, including glass fibers, induce cell transformation and chromosomal mutations in Syrian hamster embryo cells in culture. In the present study, we observed that both asbestos and glass fibers were phagocytized by these cells and accumulated in the perinuclear region of the cytoplasm. In order to understand the mechanism of fiber leng...

Intact and injured cutaneous C-fibers in the rat sural nerve are cold sensitive, heat sensitive, and/or mechanosensitive. Cold-sensitive fibers are either low-threshold type 1 cold sensitive or high-threshold type 2 cold sensitive. The hypothesis was tested, in intact and injured afferent nerve fibers, that low-threshold cold-sensitive afferent nerve fibers are activated by the transient recept...

Synthetic vitreous fibers are inorganic fibrous materials, manufactured principally from glass, rock, minerals, slag, and processed inorganic oxides. Synthetic vitreous fibers are manufactured by several processes, all of which involve cooling of a stream of high-temperature, molten inorganic oxides. Commercially important synthetic vitreous fibers are primarily silica-based, but contain variou...
