In this research, creation of higher mechanical natural fiber mat composites was proposed. The hybrid mat with jute and glass mat was fabricated by needle punching system, in which jute mat was placed on glass mat. The ratio of jute and glass mat layers was set to be 1:0,1:1,1:2 and 2:1, respectively. The composites were fabricated by hand-lay up method with unsaturated polyester resin after ne...

We have investigated the nature of the dynamical behaviour in low autocorrelation binary sequences. These models do have a glass transition TG of a purely dynamical nature. Above the glass transition the dynamics is not fully ergodic and relaxation times diverge like a power law τ ∼ (T − TG) with γ close to 2. Approaching the glass transition the relaxation slows down in agreement with the firs...

The study implements the consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA) to provide a market based perspective on how overall environmental impact will change when shifting glass fibres to flax fibres as reinforcements in composite fabrication. With certain assumptions, the marginal flax fibre supply is identified to be a combination of Chinese flax fibre (70%) and French flax fibre (30%). Due to in...

I read with great interest the paper entitled “Glass Fiber Contamination of Cigarette Filters: An Additional Health Risk to the Smoker?” by Pauly et al. (1). Dr. Pauly and his colleagues have drawn conclusions that are simply not justified. Following is a brief analysis of the scientific evidence that makes Reynolds Tobacco confident that the use of continuous glass filaments in Eclipse does no...

We introduce and study a model which admits a complex landscape without containing quenched disorder. Continuing our previous investigation we introduce a disordered model which allows us to reconstruct all the main features of the original phase diagram, including a low T spin glass phase and a complex dynamical behavior. cond-mat/9406074 ROM2F/94/016 Roma-La Sapienza 1027

The patch clamp method measures membrane currents at very high resolution when a high-resistance 'gigaseal' is established between the glass microelectrode and the cell membrane (Pflugers Arch. 391 (1981) 85; Neuron 8 (1992) 605). Here we describe the first use of the silicone elastomer, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), for patch clamp electrodes. PDMS is an attractive material for patch clamp re...

The knowledge of load bearing characteristics and failure of material is very important for mechanical engineers. Various metallic, non metallic and composite materials are used in different application. In view of this, the main objective of the present work is to analyze the influence of Aluminum Oxide filler on Fracture Toughness properties of Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) E-Glass Fiber reinforce...
