Google Fiber Adam Fleiner NT1110 Friday 6pm Moran Google Fiber is a revolutionary internet and television service. This service could change the way people use internet and watch television drastically. It is only available in a small number of cities as of now; however the company is working on spreading at a steady pace. As of now the total number of cities that may have this service soon is 34. By the end of this year there will be another list of cities to receive this service. Other cable

The Living Fiber For centuries man has gratefully accepted the protective qualities of wool. By the carefully crossbreeding of sheep‚ he has developed fibers of different lengths‚ diameters‚ and various degrees of softness and crispness. Wool is almost custom-made by nature to fit the needs of man. In its processing and manufacture‚ man takes up where sheep left off. But while new processes and treatments have made wool more versatile in its uses‚ man has not improved the fiber itself. Wool

ANIMAL FIBER Animal fibers are largely those which cover mammals such as sheep‚ goats and rabbits with well-known examples such as alpaca‚ merino‚ wool‚ fur and mohair. Animal fibers are natural fibers that consist largely of particular proteins. Instances are silk‚ hair/fur (including wool) and feathers. The animal fibers used most commonly both in the manufacturing world as well as by the hand spinners are wool from domestic sheep and silk. Also very popular are alpaca fiber and mohair

may have thought to improve raw material. People started to use fibers found in nature and hand processes to make fibers into cloth. Silk from China was famous item of trade and it was imported to Egypt as earlier as 1000 B.C. Cotton has been cultivated for more than 5000 years‚ it was grown and used for textile purposes in Indus Valley well before 2100 B.C and in Mexico by 3500 B.C. With the passage of time both the fibers and processes of fabric formation improved. However‚ till 1700 A.D

Modal Fabric Modal fiber is a new kind of regenerated cellulose fiber produced by FCFC (Formosa Chemicals & fiber Corporation)‚ called Formotex fiber. Its key advantage is its high tensile strength. Compared with Viscose‚ Its Wet/dry Tenacity is 1.5 times higher. Due to the high quality of the fiber‚ the resultant yarn is also of high quality. The definition stipulates minimum values concerning the wet modulus and fiber breaking resistance on fiber state. Modal fiber satisfies these requirements

1. INTRODUCTION Textile have much as important bearing on daily lives that everyone needs from earliest times‚ people have used textiles of various types for covering‚ warmth. Personal adornment and even to display personal wealth. Today textiles are still used for these purposes and everyone is an ultimate consumer. It begins in agriculture with fibre production of cotton‚ flax and other fibrous plants. These fibres are process into yarns and fabrics. The yarns are made into fabrics for industrial

Natural fibers have become new alternative materials that can replace petroleum-based plastic‚ either alone or combined with another material‚ to produce greener composite materials. One of the most important natural fibers is pineapple peel fiber. Pineapple peel fiber which have high content of cellulose‚ low density‚ abundance and low cost‚ have the potential for polymer reinforcement. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of corn starch film reinforced with Pineapple Peel fiber. Testing
