Polymer, resin, or other matrix-material system in which reinforcement is accomplished via high-strength, high-modulus materials in continuous filament form or is discontinuous form such as staple fibers, fibrets, and in-situ dispersions.
Industry:Textiles
Parallel threads in the form of a twistless rope wound into a large ball. When wound mechanically with quick traverse a ball warp may be made in the form of a large cylindrical package.
Industry:Textiles
One of three forms of cellulose. Alpha cellulose has the highest degree of polymerization and is the chief constituent of paper pulp and chemical dissolving-grade pulp.
Industry:Textiles
One of the three forms of cellulose. It has a lower degree of polymerization that the alpha form. With gamma cellulose it is known as hemicellulose.
Industry:Textiles
Not having the same physical properties in every direction. In the plane of a fabric, it is related to a non-random distribution of fibers.
Industry:Textiles
Noncrystalline, lacking regular geometrical shape. Used to describe certain regions in polymers.
Industry:Textiles
Maximum stress per unit area that a specimen can withstand without breaking when bent. For fibers, the stress per unit of linear fiber weight required to produce a specified deflection of a fiber.
Industry:Textiles
