Special garments and fabrics in all societies have historical, cultural and emotional significance.

In fact, this flagelliform fiber can actually stretch over twice its original length.

Then I used fibers out of my jumper, which I held and stretched.

On the other hand, if you were to look at strain this is how much a fiber can be extended if you look at the maximum value here, again, there's a lot of variation and the clear winner is flagelliform, or the capture spiral filament.

KC Recently, textiles and fiber have been put in the forefront of some exhibitions by some artists.

Optical fibre systems will act as important communication bridges linking SIDS to the rest of the world.

They then draw or pull a fiber by winding the melt onto a wheel at speeds up to 1,600 meters per second.

With more artists exhibiting textile and fiber art based works there will be more recognition.

In the case of the capture spiral, it needs to be so stretchy to absorb the impact of flying prey.

Carbon fiber, alternatively graphite fiber or CF, is a material consisting of fibers about 5 10 μm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms.

Over the past 20 years, infrared use has consistently decreased fiber optic demand, however, is slowly increasing.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland.

Pulpwood prices for most markets in Europe were substantially higher than the 2004 Global Average Wood Fiber Price of 83.60 oven dry metric ton (odmt) (delivered) for softwood and 77.10 odmt for hardwood.

The frame and radii of this web is made up of one type of silk, while the capture spiral is a composite of two different silks the filament and the sticky droplet.

Sumitomo had developed a technology essentially to impregnate a polyethylene based fiber with organic insecticide, so you could create a bed net, a malaria bed net, that would last five years and not need to be re dipped.

A state owned cotton company collects his cotton relatively efficiently, gins it nearby to produce lint and then sells the lint on the international market, generally paying Madi promptly and fairly.

About three quarters of breakfast cereals make health claims for the whole grain or fiber that has been added to make them functional.

Each of these silk fibers exits from the spigot, and if you were to trace the fiber back into the spider, what you would find is that each spigot connects to its own individual silk gland. A silk gland kind of looks like a sac with a lot of silk proteins stuck inside.

In the 1920s and '30s the company played a key role in the development of new chemical products, including the dyestuff phthalocyanine (1929), the acrylic plastic Perspex (1932), Dulux paints (1932, co developed with DuPont), polyethylene (1937) and polyethylene terephthalate fibre known as Terylene (1941).

And they're tiny.
