What is the tensile strength of cotton in lbs per square inch?

If fiberglass is layed up in one direction only (unidirectional) its strength is greater than 100,000 psi for E glass and 250,000 psi for S glass. If layed up in cross plies like fiberglass cloth (G10) strength in tension is about 40,000 psi


How do you make translucent concrete?

To make translucent concrete, you'll need Fiber Optic Plastic (FOP) and ROCALITE microconcrete (www-rocalite.com) ROCALITE is a very strong mix of concrete in which all the components are micro-metric size and reacts with a very small amount of water, so the paste when wet has is like clay and when sets is stronger than normal concrete. This two factors allows to insert the fibers in the wet mix and keep them in place until the mix sets, about four days later. After that you'll need to polish the surface to let the fibers appears and allow the light passes from one end of the fiber to the other. The concrete keeps its appearance its strength, is characteristics but the light passes through it It is amazing

Why wet strength of cotton is higher than viscose fiber?

due to hydrogen bonding no of molecular rearrangement in the structure is more than viscoce in viscose hydrogen bonds break up is more in terms of molecular arrangement so wet strength of cotton is higher than viscose fibre rajarahul28@gmail.com


How has paper changed over time?

well perhaps adhesives have been added basically you still grind up wet wood strain out the water and put it in a press cotton adds longer fibers for more strength Linen is a similar fiber to cotton... the seeds make tastier bred


Why does wet viscose has less strength than dry viscose?

viscose has 67 % amorphous region & 33% crystalline reason exactly reverse of cotton ,so viscose absorb more moisture than cotton as well as due to hydrogen bonding (formation of hydrogen bonds means addition of bonds) wet strength of cotton increases but in case of viscose no of hydyogen bonding breaks are much more(means break up of hydrogen bonds are much more than addition) so wet strength decreases.


Does cotton shrink more than polyester?

Cotton fibers swell up when wet with water which in effect shortens the length of the fiber. The temperature of the water has no bearing. If the fiber is then dried quickly, the fiber permanently retains the swelled up and shortened attitude. If dried on low heat or no heat cotton will usually not shrink. This removes the water slowly and returns the fibers to their pre-wet size. Dry cleaning solvent evaporates quickly from cotton fibers allowing for a shrink free process. Most manufacturers preshrink cotton fabric prior to constructing garments. However, preshrunk garments may still shrink 2 to 3%. So if it is just right - get the next size.


Why is the density of cotton less than the density of water?

Cotton is more spread out then water. The compounds may be heavier than water, but the fibers and cloth contain a lot of air. A wet cotton rag may sink in water if all of the air is removed.


What happens to wet cotton?

Eventually, the wet cotton will dry because of evaporation.

Clothes shrink when the fibers get wet they shrivel up. Hot water will leave the fibers wet making you clothes shrink.
