Spinneret

Inquiry Paper “Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.” ~ Virginia Woolf. For a spider the web is the key part of her existence, spun through individual silk, piece by piece it eventually connects together to form a web that provides life for the spider, a new start. Though weaved with care it does have its limitations in strength, weak and miniature bugs will get caught, but the powerful and big will destroy the web. Incidentally, while reading Michael Ondaatje’s “In the Skin of a Lion”, Paulo Coelho’s “The winner stands alone”, I begin to question what the purpose in reading is? Tired of flipping through pages and pages of words I can see a glimmer of light as the end comes near. I can now say that there is value in reading, values that hold a similarity to a spider web. So in what way is reading literature like a spider web? First, the readings of literature allows me to explore a character’s whole new adventure, watch his origins and see him develop from beginning to end, constructed by the hands of the author. Furthermore, reading shows me the different power struggles of the world in the same way the rich rule the world while the poor suffer the consequences. Lastly, reading connects me with the world around me, which helps me to make connections to get a better understanding and find meaning to the story. Stories are told in many ways. A spider can tell a story from the web she creates; just by…

Spiders are the most atrocious creatures on the planet. The amount of times I came face to face with a spider is unbelievable. I swear, my life flashes before my eyes every time. There was one time in particular where I thought I was going to die; I remember it like it was yesterday. I was surrounded by nothing. It smelled like freshly mowed grass and it felt as hot as an oven. It was the summer of 2014 and my best friend, Lauren, had moved in for a few months. Lauren would visit her…

Alene Smith swept the floor of the lobby, trying to look graceful She swept her arms in what she thought was a fluid motion, but it was hard The floor was almost clean, but then she spotted a clump of dirt by her foot, and tried to sweep it up She knew that sweeping up dirt probably wasn't the smartest idea, but she was watching the television and she didn't think much of it She didn't want to move, because even if she moved a little bit to the left she wouldn't be able to see the…

Spinning of Nylon Fiber: The turning of the nylon filaments is completed with dissolve turning. There are two strategies for liquefy turning: 1. Grid turning 2. Extruder turning. Lattice turning is utilized for the generation of better fibers. The nylon chips are made to fall on a hot matrix that melts the nylon pieces. The liquid nylon is pumped through a sand channel to the spinneret. The sort of fiber created relies on the quantity of gaps on the spinneret, the size and the state of the…

been patented by Akzo (see above) in the production of Twaron, a patent war ensued.Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide – branded Kevlar – was invented by Polish-American chemist Stephanie Kwolek while working for DuPont,[6] in anticipation of a gasoline shortage. In 1964, her group began searching for a new lightweight strong fiber to use for light but strong tires.[6] The polymers she had been working with at the time, poly-p-phenylene-terephthalate and polybenzamide,[7] formed liquid crystal…

the spinneret. Filament yarns can also be separated into 2 categories, explicitly: Multi and Mono filaments. The filament that is natural and an inclusive filament yarn are silk. Even though there are diverse filament fiber examples, such as: Wool and cotton - Staple fibers. 1.4 The only natural filament fiber available is silk. 1.5 Cotton is the natural plant fiber which dominates across the world concerning natural plant fiber recognition. 1.6 Wool is the natural animal fiber that is the…

camouflage them among the leaves. Except for those in the genus Sosippus, wolf spiders do not spin webs. Some dig burrows in the ground, others make holes under rocks, and many have no retreat at all. The mating rituals of wolf spiders can vary depending on the species, as is true for most spider groups. Adult males follow silk and chemical cues left by females. Generally, males then use a combination of visual and seismic vibratory behaviors to court their potential mate. They often wave and…

para-aromatic polyamide synthetic fiber that contains polymer (multiple chain bonds) which makes it extremely strong. It is flexible, light, and thermal stability allowing this unique synthetic fiber to be used in advanced technology applications such as bulletproof materials. Invention The invention of Kevlar® was developed in 1965 by a chemist, Stephanie Kwolek. Kwolek made the breakthrough while working at DuPont Laboratory. While she was working for DuPont™, her research team searched for…

inception dates back to the late 1960s and early 70s in a DuPont facility, where a young woman named Stephanie Kwolek was researching high-performance fibers for use in reducing gasoline consumption in automobiles. Her team was to find a stronger material for reinforcing tires to allow them to be lighter, stiffer, and more efficient in gas consumption. One day during her work, she discovered that the polymer she was working with, Poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide (See Figure 1), was forming…

lot of pencils tithed together . These bonded tiny straight rods gives kevlor amazing properties like nematic behavior(lining up the same direction). Kevlor is prepaired in two different steps first we have to produce the basic plastic and then tyrn these plastic into strong fiber which is called Kevlar.In Kevlar polymers are made by repeating amides over and over agin. The basic way of making polyamide is to take an ammonia like chemical and react it woth an organic acid which is called…
