Kanekalon could refer to: Synthetic fibers produced by Kaneka Corporation; Synthetic dreads or other synthetic hair products made out of such material
Synthetic dreads are typically made by braiding or wrapping synthetic hair around a core material, such as yarn or wire, to create a cylindrical shape resembling natural dreadlocks. They come in various styles, lengths, and colors, allowing individuals to experiment with different looks, from vibrant and multicolored to natural and understated.
The first plastic made from synthetic components, it was developed by Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907, and patented on December 7, 1909. [ 3 ] Bakelite was one of the first plastic-like materials to be introduced into the modern world and was popular because it could be moulded and then hardened into any shape.
“Kanekalon is a big part of both of our lives. We didn’t know it was going to cause such a tizzy,” LaNea laughs. “But it definitely helped the song and our brand, so we’re happy about it.”
A slab of pykrete Pykrete is made of 14% sawdust and 86% water by mass.. Pykrete (/ ˈ p aɪ k r iː t /, PIE-creet) [1] is a frozen ice composite, [2] originally made of approximately 14% sawdust or some other form of wood pulp (such as paper) and 86% ice by weight (6 to 1 by weight).
Pumice is composed of highly microvesicular glass pyroclastic with very thin, translucent bubble walls of extrusive igneous rock.It is commonly [4] but not exclusively of silicic or felsic to intermediate in composition (e.g., rhyolitic, dacitic, andesite, pantellerite, phonolite, trachyte), but basaltic and other compositions are known.
The natural fibers of ulexite act as optical fibers, transmitting light along their long axes by internal reflection. When a piece of ulexite is cut with flat polished faces perpendicular to the orientation of the fibers, a good-quality specimen will display an image of whatever surface is adjacent to its other side.
Moissanite is birefringent (i.e., light sent through the material splits into separate beams that depend on the source polarization), which can be easily seen, and diamond is not. [ 25 ] Because of its hardness, it can be used in high-pressure experiments, as a replacement for diamond (see diamond anvil cell ). [ 6 ]
