Mechanical and fracture properties of steel fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete

open access: yesScience and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2021
In this study, the effects of steel fibers on the mechanical properties of the geopolymer concrete – compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength; compressive elastic modulus; and fracture properties – were evaluated.

The effect of flexible joint-like elements on the adhesive performance of nature-inspired bent mushroom-like fibers

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
Many organisms rely on densely packed, tilted and curved fibers of various dimensions to attach to surfaces. While the high elastic modulus of these fibers enables an extremely large number of fibers per unit area, where each fiber stands freely without ...

Dill Extract Induces Elastic Fiber Neosynthesis and Functional Improvement in the Ascending Aorta of Aged Mice with Reversal of Age-Dependent Cardiac Hypertrophy and Involvement of Lysyl Oxidase-Like-1

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2020
Elastic fibers (90% elastin, 10% fibrillin-rich microfibrils) are synthesized only in early life and adolescence mainly by the vascular smooth muscle cells through the cross-linking of its soluble precursor, tropoelastin.

Multiphoton autofluorescence imaging of intratissue elastic fibers

open access: yes, 2022
S.495-500Multiphoton induced blue/green autofluorescence by near infrared femtosecond laser pulses has been used to selectively image intratissue elastic fibers in native and tissue engineered (TE) viable heart valves without any invasive tissue removal,

Distribution of elastic fibers in the head and neck: a histological study using late-stage human fetuses

open access: yes, 2013
There is little or no information about the distribution of elastic fibers in the human fetal head. We examined this issue in 15 late-stage fetuses (crown-rump length, 220-320 mm) using aldehyde-fuchsin and elastica-Masson staining, and we used the ...

Intrusive growth of sclerenchyma fibers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Intrusive growth is a type of cell elongation when the rate of its longitudinal growth is higher than that of surrounding cells; therefore, these cells intrude between the neighboring cells penetrating the middle lamella.
