the use of agriculture residues as filler in composites is increasing due to their strength, abundance and low cost. soya stalks show promising renewable natural fiber. in polyethylene composites the physical and mechanical properties (flexural resistance, tensile, impacted absorbed energy, water uptake and thickness swelling) was examined at different composites. the results showed that, the m...

one of the main issues of nanotechnology is producing materials with new properties. nanotechnology, as a powerful tool, has the ability to create evolution in the agricultural system and food–medicinal industries across the world. producing a high-performance material from reclaimed cellulose material will increase motivation to recycle these materials at all phases of paper production and rem...

in this work, leather fibers were employed as a component of elastomeric compounds based on nbr, cr and epdm and studied were made on their effects upon curing characteristics and mechanical properties of the prepared compounds. evaluation of curing characteristics of the compounds demonstrated that leather fibers have no considerable effect on initial viscosity and curing time of the compounds...

Stickiness is the physical process of contaminated lint adhering to equipment. The degree of stickiness depends on chemical identity, quantity, and distribution of the sugars. The sugar in cotton fibers may be insect or plant derived. There are several methods for measuring cotton fibers stickiness. In this work, a colorimetric method was used for the measurements. In the method, honeydew was c...

a type of novel hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent was obtained by sulfonation and cross-linking reaction of polypropylene fiber grafted styrene-divinylbenzene. the aim of the fiber sulfonation and cross-linking method was to prepare rigid three dimensional networks in the entire fiber and change the ion exchange capacity of fiber. the hypercross-linked fiber adsorbent possesses a principally di...

the sustainability of the built environment is increasingly coming to the forefront of infrastructure design and maintenance decisions. to address this, development of a new class of more sustainable cement-based materials is needed. fiber reinforced self-consolidating mortar (frscm) was developed by optimizing the micromechanical parameters, which control composite properties in the hardened s...

Background: Mediodorsal (MD) thalamic nucleus, which is considered to take place between extra pyramidal and limbic feedback circuit, receives projective fibers from ventrolateral neurons of reticular part of substantia nigra (SNr). In order to better understand the influence and chemical reaction of these fibers upon MD nucleus, the morphology and synaptology of them were examined in the prese...

in this research work, the effects of natural fibers such as date palm fiber (df) and jute fiber (jf) on bending properties of polypropylene (pp)/ ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer (epdm) thermoplastic elastomers are investigated. for this purpose, the date palm and jute fibers at five levels of fiber weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt. %) are utilized during composite fabrication. maleic ...
