Predicting wood stiffness of lodgepole pine trees using acoustic tools and green density
Upstream identification of wood properties using non-destructive testing methods such as acoustic velocity (AV) measurements is important for optimizing allocation of wood to mills or products. We evaluated the effectiveness of field AV measurement tools

Effect of fibre treatments on interfacial shear strength of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites [PDF]
Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide, acetic anhydride,

Miniaturized fibre‐top cantilevers on etched fibres [PDF]
SummaryFibre‐top probes are self‐aligned, all optical devices obtained by carving a cantilever on top of a 125‐m diameter single‐mode optical fibre. In this paper, we show that this design can be adapted to smaller fibres as well. We evaluated the performance of a 20‐m diameter probe in contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and that of a 50‐m ...

The influence of Carbon Fibre Surface Treatment on Fibre-Fibre Interactions in Multi-Fibre Microcomposites [PDF]
Multi-fibre microcomposites were used to study the influence of fibre/matrix adhesion on the fracture process of composites in uniaxial tension. In addition to in-situ microscopic observations, results were quantitatively described using an interaction criterion.

Potentiality of Indian pineapple leaf fiber for apparels
The use of textile-grade fiber extracted from the Indian pineapple leaf is an unexplored area. Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) is fine, soft, and moderately strong and is much acceptable for fashion garment.
