Synthetic fiber

material scientists how materials deform (elongate, compress, and twist) or break as a function of applied load, time, temperature, and other conditions (Virginia.edu 2013). 1.4.1. Tensile Load The mooring line materials such as chains, steel wire, fiber ropes and anchors mostly work under tensile loads. The mooring line which is connected to the FPSO and the anchor on either sides gets pulled in opposite direction. The largest tensile load is…

The Synthetic Food Nightmare Nearly all of the coffee in the world is gone. Nobody can have their morning cup. Starbucks is closed, so is Bigby, McDonald's, and Dairy Queen. In fact, all the restaurants in the U.S. no longer exist and grocery stores are closing as well. The remaining option for food is a slimy synthetic beverage called “Soylent”. Humans survive on Soylent as a convenient meal replacement instead of real food. Imagine if this nightmare was the future of the food industry. As…

personal use but, there are many medical conditions where anabolic-androgenic steroids must be used and this will also be discussed. Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic drugs related to the male sex hormones called androgens and the term anabolic, refers to the growth of skeletal muscle. Basically AAS can be like a synthetic form of testosterone which is the primary male hormone. AAS is legally prescribed by doctors in the United States to treat males who have experienced delayed…

Haemodialysis Haemodialysis removes wastes and water by circulating blood outside the body through an external filter, called a dialyzer which contains a semipermeable membrane. Before dialysis an artery and a vein is joined internally (fistula) or by a fiber (graft) to develop the required pressure to draw the blood from the patient. Then dialysis is carried out. The blood flows in one direction and the dialysate flows in the opposite. The counter-current flow of the blood and the dialysate…

The humble and often overlooked bed sheet, is one of the most crucial elements for a good night's sleep. When shopping online for bedding, one runs the risk of getting distracted by all the variety of colors, patterns, textures, fabrics and prices. This issue is exacerbated by all the enticing deals, discounts and bundle offers that online whole sale bedding suppliers have on display. As a result of such distractions, many people end up with bed sheets they are not happy with just because 'it…

about the vertices. A third structure is the nodule and fibril structure, where nodules move away from the fibrils when they are pulled in tension, causing an auxetic effect. Knowing the geometry of auxetic structures allow for the manufacture of synthetic auxetics from typically non-auxetic materials. The most common auxetic unit shape is the re-entrant honeycomb; materials have already been designed with the re-entrant honeycomb lattice on the microscopic scale, creating potential for filters…

strong fabric, so do not be tricked by its sheer look. Organza is traditionally made from silk. Its cotton variety is called organdy, and it has similar properties to organza. Nowadays, you can find all kinds of organza fabric, both natural and synthetic. An everybody’s favourite for evening and wedding gowns, this stiff material has a subtle sheen. What Is Organza Fabric Like? / Organza Fabric Characteristics Organza fabric has a stiff and wiry finish, because it is made with highly twisted…

curious about international enforcement of the violation. There was a federal case prosecuted out of the Eastern District of Virginia: US v. Kolon Industries, Inc. Kolon is a South Korean company which competes with Dupont in the manufacture of synthetic fiber which Dupont has successfully marketed as Kevlar. Over a period of many years, Kolon had been stealing the Kevlar manufacturing process through the hiring of former Dupont employees and leveraging traditional espionage tradecraft.…

strong synthetic fibers, the aramid fiber is a material that was first developed in the early 1960s for the production of protective apparel, electrical insulation and air filtration among other commercial applications. The new material led to nothing short of a breakthrough in the manufacturing process of combat helmets. After all, for warfighters and many other people, dodging bullets, shrapnel and explosions is part of their job description. Military helmets made with the aramid fiber…

In 1870, Camille Poirier started a shoe and leather goods store in Duluth, Minnesota. His first pack, the #3 Duluth Pack, that was available only in olive drab, was patented by Poirer in 1882. He expanded the products offered, to include wagon covers, auto packs, and shell bags for hunters. In 1911, he moved his shop to a larger building. During the Great Depression, more repairs were performed than new packs produced, but in the 1940's when the economy prospered and recreation soared,…
