  2. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

    Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers (0.00020–0.00039 in) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. [1] Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high ...

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

    Controversially, in 2006, cricket bats with a thin carbon-fiber layer on the back were introduced and used in competitive matches by high-profile players including Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. The carbon fiber was claimed to merely increase the durability of the bats, but it was banned from all first-class matches by the ICC in 2007. [37]

    Everywhere you look, someone (like me) is raving about walking on an under-desk treadmill or is marathon training. The hype is real, and all you need is a good pair of shoes. The hype is real, and ...

  6. Group C nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_C_nerve_fiber

    C fibers respond to all kinds of physiological changes in the body. [8] For example, they can respond to hypoxia, hypoglycemia, hypo-osmolarity, the presence of muscle metabolic products, and even light or sensitive touch. [8] C fiber receptors include: C fiber nociceptors responsible for the second, burning pain; C fiber warming specific receptors

  9. Aramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramid

    Besides meta-aramids like Nomex, other variations belong to the aramid fiber range. These are mainly of the copolyamide type, best known under the brand name Technora, as developed by Teijin and introduced in 1976. The manufacturing process of Technora reacts PPD and 3,4'-diaminodiphenylether (3,4'-ODA) with terephthaloyl chloride (TCl). [13]
