BAMBOO FIBER REINFORCED BINDERLESS GREEN COMPOSITES FROM STEAM-EXPLODED BAMBOO POWDER [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2012
In this paper, we attempted to prepare the binderless green composite using bamboo fiber and steam-exploded bamboo powder as matrix. The influence of molding conditions on their tensile behavior was investigated by changing the molding temperature, pressure and time.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
