Found 4 Articles for Synthetic Fibers and Plastics

Introduction Fibres are referred to as the thread like structure that is long and thin and also very flexible in nature. The fibre is then spun in the yarns and from there, fabrics are made. The two main classifications that are found depending on the origin of the fibres, that involve, natural fibres and man-made fibres or (MMF) or synthetic fibres. However, the MMF is made in the laboratories and seemed to be quite cheaper as compared to the natural fibres. Classification of Fibres Based on the aspect of origin, the fibre can be divided into, natural fibres as well ... Read More

Introduction Various types of Plastic are widely used compounds used in everyday life. These polymer units of long carbon chains societal impacts that not only is harmful to the environment but also the organisms associated with it. There are various kinds of plastics categorized based on their structure. Definition of plastic Plastic is a compound that was introduced to the world in 1846 by a German chemist Christian Schonbein. The term plastic is derived from the Greek word plastikos which implies to mould. This group of materials can either be synthetic or obtained from nature. It is generally ... Read More

Single-mode and multimode optical fibres are used in fibre optic communication systems. The diameter of the core, which impacts the number of light modes that can be broadcasted and the range over which the signal can be transferred, is the primary difference between the two. Read this article to find out more about Single-Mode Fiber and Multimode Fiber and how they are different from each other. What is Single-Mode Fiber? SMF stands for single-mode fiber. It can transmit only one mode of light because of its small core diameter. Single-mode fibres are used in cable television and backbone networks. It ... Read More

When it comes to plumbing, there are various types of piping available. Each type has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Two of the most popular materials used for plumbing are PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and PB (polybutylene). Polybutylene (PB) and cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) are two types of flexible plastic piping that are used for water supply lines in plumbing systems. Both PB and PEX pipes are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), but the two types of piping have different manufacturing processes. PB piping is made by extrusion, a process in which molten plastic is forced through a die to create ... Read More
