English | ISBN: 1616681543 | 2010 | 66 pages | PDF | 8 MB
In this book, the results of the chemical modification of cellulose fibres were presented, aimed at protecting the textile material against biodegradation. Namely, cellulose fibres are highly susceptible to microbial attack, resulting in worsened technological and applicable properties of textile products. This is a particularly crucial problem for textiles that are in use. The rate and degree of cellulose biodegradation is affected by several factors, among which the most important are the genera of micro-organisms and the environmental conditions needed for microbial growth.

Free Download Bragg Fibers: From Optical Properties to Applications
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031651634 | 193 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 44 MB
This book highlights the guiding mechanisms as well as the most current and important results in the field of innovative, bio-inspired Bragg fibers. While conventional optical fibers (COF) have several advantages over traditional waveguides, they also suffer from a number of disadvantages which are not present in Bragg fibers due to their minimal nonlinearities, lack of polarization or birefringence effect, lack of Fresnel reflections at the open fiber end, and absence of material or cladding losses. A natural platform for biological and chemical sensing, and with potential to boost communication systems’ speed and bandwidth, the primary goal of this book is to apprise readers in academia and industry of properties of EM wave propagation in Bragg fibers with a defect layer. Their major applications in bio/chemical sensing, fuel adulteration sensing, high-temperature sensing, optical dual-channel inline filtering, optical de-multiplexers, optical couplers, and nonlinear soliton generation are presented in detail, along with comparisons of Bragg fibers with alternative structures and their relative pros and cons.

Free Download Khubab Shaker, "Lignocellulosic Fibers: Sustainable Biomaterials for Green Composites "
English | ISBN: 303097412X | 2022 | 78 pages | PDF | 1465 KB
The book is primarily focused on natural plant (lignocellulosic) fibers as sustainable reinforcement material for green composites. It begins with a brief introduction to common plant-based reinforcements, their extraction techniques, the structure of plant fibers, and describes novel fibers extracted from fruit, seeds, leaf, bast, and agricultural waste. The book then focuses on the application of these fibers as reinforcements for composite materials, covering reinforcement and composite fabrication techniques, as well as their performance evaluation. Overall, the book provides a unique and comprehensive look at lignocellulosic fibers for use in green composites, appealing to both researchers in the area of sustainable materials and industry professionals and entrepreneurs interested in their utilization in value-added composite products.
