Synthetic fiber

Created in 1965 by Stephanie Kwolek, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that can be used in a wide variety of ways [1]. It is used to make body armor, tires and automotive belts. Governments around the world use this material to protect their soldiers in combat, motorcyclists use it to protect themselves against road rash in the event of a crash, and it is also utilized in ropes and cables. While these uses for Kevlar have revolutionized personal protection, there is one particular application for Kevlar that is used for both practical and recreational purposes. Many aren’t aware that Kevlar is now a commonly used material in the production of boat sails. With the introduction of Kevlar in the mid-1960s, sails were revolutionized, giving them an…

These characteristics have been explained carefully, with ultimate simplicity; where accurate and deep meanings have been considered which will also been elaborated in future sections. Briefly, the four Elements include the following components: Fire Air Water Soil a) Fire: comes with Heat and Dryness. It is the lightest of all Elements b) Air: comes…

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…

Trusses are composed of straight members connected at their ends by hinged connections to form a stable configuration. When loads are applied to a truss only at the joints, forces are transmitted only in the direction of each of its members. That is, the members experience tension or compression forces, but not bending forces. Trusses have a high strength to weight ratio and consequently are used in many structures, from bridges, to roof supports, to space stations.The Pros of a Truss Bridge 1.…

with other masking tapes from other countries, the washi-made masking tape is easier to tear off without any trace. However, its power and adhesiveness are as excellent as usual. Washi, a kind of Japanese paper, is traditionally made from inner bark of plants like paper mulberry trees because of its flexibility and length of the fibres. Nevertheless, the major fibres did not exist in Europe when paper making technology was introduced there from Asia in 12th century. Until the beginning of 18th…

MANUFACTURING COSTS: Functional Elements: The baby stroller is mainly composed of three materials: Nylon (woven, as fabric) Plastic (injection molded, for plastic parts) Steel (tubing, for frame) Fasteners are included in the assembly of different components of the strollers. The stroller would have to be manufactured on an assembly line. The fabric weaving and seat making, the plastic molding and the frame can simultaneously be manufactured in their respective work areas. Following are…

Expensive, therefore not an economical substitute for cast iron. Polymer Impregnated Concrete (PIC)- Improved damping capacity (High damping at lower frequency range Hollow Composites Sphere- It consists of hollow spheres as filler and epoxy resin as matrix material. Reduced weight. Higher thermal coefficient of expansion than steel. Hollow sphere consists of a mixture of metal oxides or plastic and size ranges from 10µm to 2mm. Cementitious Composite Materials- Cement as binders.…

Knee Wraps: The Benefits and Drawbacks What are knee wraps? The knee wrap is similar to the wrist wrap regarding the logic that applies to both. Knee wraps are also to an “Ace” bandage, except that they are much thicker and stronger. The elastic material that is used to make the knee wrap is the same found in wrist wraps. The allowed width for knee wraps is 8 cm (3 inches), although they can sometimes be 2.0 meter, 2.5 meters or even 3.5 meters long. Advantages of using knee wraps The primary…
