This article compares the performance of other fiber optic glass materials using silica as the baseline and closes with a ...

Fiberglass may not be a flashy material, but it’s ubiquitous. It’s also big business. “Today there are over 40,000 applications just for reinforcement glass fiber,” Korwin-Edson says.

The resulting array of R-glass products includes 17 μm WindStrand, which features a tensile modulus not quite as high as S-glass but higher than E-glass at an affordable cost for very long wind blades ...

When the fiber is deformed, which would indicate cement fatigue, emission from coumarin excites the rhodamine, and the stress causes an easy-to-spot color change at the fiber tip (Fibers 2019, DOI ...

WESTERVILLE, OH – Imagine a battlefield medic or emergency medical technician providing first aid with a special wad of cottony glass fibers that simultaneously slows bleeding, fights bacteria ...

Fiberglass is a synthetic material that contains fragile glass fibers. These fiberglass particles can penetrate the skin, leading to pain and a rash. When a person cuts or saws fiberglass, ...

In chopped mat, roving and unidirectional fabric forms, basalt fibers exhibit a higher breaking load and higher Young's modulus (a measure of the stiffness of a given material) than E-glass. In a ...
