Structural Determination of Silica-Based Fire-Proof Heat Insulation

Imae K., Imae Y., Kawajiri Y., Kitajima H., Matsumoto K., Oya N., Sugiura K., Osaka Prefectural College of Technology, JP

There are urgent needs for fire-proof heat insulations that are particularly used for protection of electric cables in critical power plants. Those insulations must provide sufficient coverages to enormously long cables and even have reduced [...]

Innovative 3D Glass Fiber Metal Laminate

Lay T., Taheri F., ECI Limited, CA

Abstract A new assembled glass fiber metal laminate has a 3D E-glass fiber fabric core layer, which contains two bidirectional fabrics knitted together by vertical braided glass fiber pillars. Application of resin to core faces [...]

Characterization of Screen-Penetrating Aerosol Fibers and Their Alignment in an Electric Field

Deye G., Ku B.K., Turkevich L.A., NIOSH, US

Length classification of airborne fibers, including carbon nanotubes/nanofibers, is a fundamental technology important for toxicology studies of these materials. Fiber toxicity appears to depend on fiber concentration, dimensions (diameter and length) and durability in the [...]

Characterization of a Vortex Shaking Method for Producing Airborne Glass Fibers for Toxicology Studies

Deye G., Ku B.K., Turkevich L.A., National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), US

Current fiber measurement techniques arose primarily due to health concerns over asbestos exposure. Fiber toxicity appears to be mostly a function of fiber concentration, dimensions (diameter and length) and durability in the lungs. A fiber [...]
