Global geological occurrence and character of the carcinogenic zeolite mineral, erionite: A review
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2022 As with the six regulated asbestos minerals (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite), the zeolite mineral, erionite, can exhibit a fibrous morphology.

Exploring the Possibilities of Producing Pulp and Paper from Discarded Lignocellulosic Fibers
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023 The main objective of this work was to explore the prospects of producing pulp and paper from leftover lignocellulosic fibers. In this study discarded Cocos nucifera fibers were collected from an abandoned site and were washed thoroughly.

Study the Effect of Chemical and Enzymatic Extraction Methods on the Kenaf Fibers Properties
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 In this paper, two extraction methods for kenaf fiber, The chemical process and the enzymatic one, were performed. These processes were used to extract fibers from the kenaf stem and the chemical, mechanical and morphologic properties of the extracted ...

Effect of Fiber Bundle Morphology on Fiber Dispersion for Long Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastics
Polymers, 2023 Understanding the mechanics of fiber attrition during the extrusion process is highly important in predicting the strength of long fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. However, little work has been done to investigate the mechanics of fiber dispersion and its effects on fiber attrition.

Wetting morphologies on an array of fibers of different radii [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the equilibrium morphology of a finite volume of liquid placed on two parallel rigid fibers of different radii. As observed for identical radii fibers, the liquid is either in a column morphology or adopts a drop shape depending on the ...

IMPACT OF ALKALINE TREATMENT ON THE CONSTITUENTS, STRENGTH AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BANANA FIBER [PDF]
European Journal of Materials Science and Engineering, 2023 The readily availability of natural fibers have made them to be less expensive compared to the synthetic fibers. Hence, highest substitute for synthetic fibers in composites development today is natural fibers.

Influence of matrix toughness and interfacial strength on the toughness of epoxy composites with ductile steel fabric reinforcement [PDF]
, 2015 In the last decades, several studies have been performed on polymers reinforced with steel cords or wires. However, the diameter of these steel reinforcements was still quite large (200 micron and more).

Bandpass transmission spectra of a whispering-gallery microcavity coupled to an ultrathin fiber [PDF]
, 2017 Tapered fibers with diameters ranging from 1-4 micron are widely used to excite the whispering-gallery (WG) modes of microcavities. Typically, the transmission spectrum of a WG cavity coupled to a waveguide around a resonance assumes a Lorentzian dip ...
