Tensile Studies on Random Oriented Human Hair Fiber Reinforced Polyester Composites

Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2018
Composite specimens are prepared by impregnating human hair in polyester resin. Randomlyoriented chopped Human hair with varied weight ratios and Fiber lengths are used for the present experimental study. The composites are compression moulded using hand

Maternal Faecalibacterium pathobionts and low-fiber diets synergize to impact offspring health: implications for atopic dermatitis [PDF]

Microbiome
Background The incidence of atopic dermatitis (AD) has increased globally in recent decades. A recent study identified enrichment of Faecalibacterium subspecies in young AD patients, implicating these gut bacteria in disease pathogenesis.

A Review on Recent Developments on Waste Human Hair Composite and Its Hybrids

Journal of Natural Fibers
Human hair (HH) is considered a waste material generated in salons and barbershops in most societies, especially highly populated cities, where it is produced in large quantities, thus rekindling the interests of academics. Several studies are ongoing on

Reinforcement of polypropylene with natural fibers: Mitigation of environmental pollution

Environmental Challenges, 2023
: Recently, natural fibers have gained research attention in reinforcing polymers due to their availability and unique properties in polymer applications. Preliminary studies indicate indiscriminate disposal of human hair (HH) and the burning of cow hair

A Comparative Study of Mechanical Characteristics of Normal Concrete with Human Hair Fiber Fabricated Concrete

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2023
For a long period, materials like steel, jute, wood, etc. are been taken into practice for concrete fabrication. The reinforcement of concrete structures provides good stability and improves the mechanical properties of the material.

Light scattering from human hair fibers [PDF]

ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2003
Light scattering from hair is normally simulated in computer graphics using Kajiya and Kay's classic phenomenological model. We have made new measurements of scattering from individual hair fibers that exhibit visually significant effects not predicted by Kajiya and Kay's model.

Strength and Deformation Behavior of Fine-Grained Soils Reinforced with Hair Fibers and Its Application in Pavement Design

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Although waste hair fibers are consumed in agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, etc., their use in civil engineering is very limited. Because of fibrous nature, it can be used as reinforcement material in soil for sustainable development, similar ...
