This study aims to investigate the HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) reinforced with fiberglass increase strength and toughness into a composite that has potential replace ABS (Acronitrile Butadiene Styrene). The composites were made variations in composition based on volume fraction. as matrix reinforcement through mixing method, molded heating machine (T=140°C), pressed pressing time of ±45 mi...

The filters in Eclipse, a new cigarette-like smoking article marketed by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, are contaminated with glass fibers, fragments, and particles. Reported herein are the results of a study in which consumers were questioned about their opinions as to whether exposure to glass fibers in such a filter poses an added health risk beyond that from smoking and whether the manufac...

A rapid, simple, and quantitative filter-binding assay using glass fiber filters has been developed to detect the convalent adenovirus DNA-terminal protein complex. The assay is unusually sensitive because binding of protein-free DNA generally is less than 0.1%. Binding of the adenovirus complex to filters is mediated by terminal protein. We have found that: (i) the adenovirus complex binds max...
