  2. Chrysotile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysotile

    Three polytypes of chrysotile are known. [8] These are very difficult to distinguish in hand specimens, and polarized light microscopy [6] must normally be used. Some older publications refer to chrysotile as a group of minerals—the three polytypes listed below, and sometimes pecoraite as well—but the 2006 recommendations of the International Mineralogical Association prefer to treat it as ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asbestiform

    The most common asbestiform mineral is chrysotile, commonly called "white asbestos", a magnesium phyllosilicate part of the serpentine group. Other asbestiform minerals include riebeckite , an amphibole whose fibrous form is known as crocidolite or "blue asbestos", and brown asbestos , a cummingtonite-grunerite solid solution series.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpentine_subgroup

    Serpentines find use in industry for several purposes, such as railway ballasts, building materials, and the asbestiform types find use as thermal and electrical insulation (chrysotile asbestos). The asbestos content can be released into the air when serpentine is excavated and if it is used as a road surface, forming a long-term health hazard ...

    Chrysotile, a form of asbestos, is a proven human carcinogen (List of IARC Group 1 carcinogens). It is known contributor to mesothelioma. However, unlike other asbestos forms of asbestos such as crocidolite and amosite, Chrysotile only poses a risk when absorbed in extreme quantities. This is due to the fact that Chrysotile is a rolled ...

    For her dissertation, titled "Size dependence of strength of gold at the micron scale in the absence of strain gradients," [11] Greer worked with materials scientist William D. Nix studying the mechanical properties of nanopillars. [10] After her PhD, Greer pursued postdoctoral studies at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) from 2005-2007.
