All Fiber is Not Fiber

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2022
Epidemiologic studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of dietary fiber. This occurs through a combination of the physiochemical properties of fiber and through microbial fermentation that occurs in the colon which result in the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). The purpose of this review is to highlight the physiochemical

Fiber–fiber interaction in concentrated suspensions: Disperse fibers

Journal of Rheology, 1999
A hypothesis for fiber–fiber interaction in planar randomly oriented concentrated fiber suspensions is proposed and tested. The idea is that at sufficiently high fiber concentrations, friction and lubrication at fiber–fiber contact points are the dominant interaction mechanisms.

Strength of composites with long-aligned fibers: fiber–fiber and fiber–crack interaction

Composites Part B: Engineering, 1998
Abstract This paper presents a finite element formulation of elasticity to model elastic fracture in composites with long aligned fibers. We have employed a B-bar type approach which is applicable to compressible as well as nearly incompressible material systems.

Influence of Stacking Sequence and Fiber Content on the Mechanical Properties of Natural and Synthetic Fibers Reinforced Penta-Layered Hybrid Composites

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
The objective of this work is to find the influence of fiber content, stacking pattern, and their sequence on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. Hybrid composites in four varieties with five laminae containing different stacking sequences of

In vitro colonic fermentation of dietary fibers: Fermentation rate, short-chain fatty acid production and changes in microbiota

Trends in Food Science & Technology, 2019
Background Dietary fiber is the undigested carbohydrate that escapes small intestinal digestion and absorption, and then reaches the large intestine for partial or complete fermentation by the colonic microbiota.

Fiber–fiber interaction in concentrated suspensions: Dispersed fiber bundles

Journal of Rheology, 1999
A model is proposed to describe the rheology of planar randomly oriented concentrated fiber bundle suspensions in a shear-thinning matrix. The approach is that, at high fiber volume fractions, the dominant interaction mechanisms are friction and lubrication at the fiber–fiber contact points.
