Effects of fibre reinforcements on properties of extruded alkali activated earthen building materials
(2019-12-10)
The reaction between clay minerals present in soil and an alkaline solution has the potential to develop in situ binders, which can be harnessed in the development of earth based construction materials. To ascertain the ...
Sugarcane fibre may prevents hairball formation in cats
(Journal of Nutritional Science, 2014)
Hair ingested by licking during cat grooming can eventually coalesce into solid masses in cat gastrointestinal tract. It is believed that dietary fibre might reduce formation of these trichobezoars (hairballs). The effects ...
Natural fibres for geotextiles
(2012-09-21)
Natural fibre-based geotextiles can compete with polymeric geotextiles on both technical and economic grounds. However, to increase their competitiveness, new areas of application must be developed, with the biggest market ...
Surface esterification of cellulose fibres: Processing and characterisation of low-density polyethylene/cellulose fibres composites
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2008)
Low-density polyethylene was filled with cellulose fibres from sugar cane bagasse obtained from organosolv/supercritical carbon dioxide pulping process. The fibres were also used after chemical modification with octadecanoyl ...
Effect of fibre morphology on flocculation of fibre-cement suspensions
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The objective of the present research was to evaluate the effect of fibre morphology (e.g., length, width, fibrillation, broken ends, content of fines and number of fibres per gram) on flocculation and drainage properties ...
Functional trade-offs in volume allocation to xylem cell types in 75 species from the Brazilian savanna Cerrado
(Oxford Univ Press, 2022-07-22)
Background and Aims Xylem is a crucial tissue for plant survival, performing the functions of water transport, mechanical support and storage. Functional trade-offs are a result of the different assemblages of xylem cell ...
Robust Non-Hyperbolic Fibred Quadratic Pplynomial Dynamics
(Amer. Inst. Mathematical Sciences-AIMS, 2023)
We consider the dynamics of fibred quadratic polynomials over an irrational rotation of the circle. We construct a simple mechanism, so-called critical connection, that implies non-hyperbolicity. To exhibit that critical ...
Surface properties of eucalyptus pulp fibres as reinforcement of cement-based composites
(WALTER DE GRUYTER & CO, 2010)
The objective of the present work is to evaluate the effects of the surface properties of unrefined eucalyptus pulp fibres concerning their performance in cement-based composites. The influence of the fibre surface on the ...
Supercritical carbonation treatment on extruded fibre-cement reinforced with vegetable fibres
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-02-01)
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of supercritical carbonation treatment for 2 h on the main hydrated phases of the cement matrix (calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate) and durability of ...
