The elastic fibres in the blood vessels basically allow the vessels to expand and to return to their original size.

Tthese changes in size is necessary due to variations in the need for blood to the supplied area.

For example, if an artery was going to a muscle, it should be able to increase its diameter when the muscle is working to bring more blood and oxygen, and to go back to its original size when the muscle rests.

Why are the properties of Aluminum always the same while the properties of the lead - glass may vary?

The properties of aluminum are consistent because aluminum is a pure element with a uniform atomic structure. Lead-glass, on the other hand, is a composite material made up of lead and glass, which can vary in composition and texture, leading to different properties. The variations in lead-glass properties stem from differences in the ratios of lead to glass and the manufacturing process.


What is hybrid composite?

A plastic composite is a material that has a polymer or plastic as the matrix reinforced with another material - usually a fiber. So CFRP - Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic is one such example. These materials are used on newer aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing Dreamliner 787. There are other examples including polyesters with galss fiber. These are known as GFRP - Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic.


Can fiber glass be used near heat?

The glass fibre would be OK but the polyurethane resin is not heat resistant.


Is bamboo a synthetic fiber?

No, bamboo is not a synthetic fiber. It is a natural fiber derived from the bamboo plant. Bamboo fiber is known for its sustainability, softness, and antibacterial properties, making it a popular choice in clothing and textiles.


What are some properties of soda glass?

Soda lime glass is a type of glass made from silica, soda ash, and limestone. It is known for its transparency, low cost, and ease of production. However, it may not be as chemically resistant as some other types of glass.

Is optical fiber ihollow or not?

The main part of an optical fiber is a glass fiber (NOT hollow) within another glass fiber of another type of glass. Both types of glass have a different index of refraction; the signal travels through the inner glass fiber.

What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?

Carbon fiber is a reinforced composite material made of carbon fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix, known for its lightweight and strong properties. On the other hand, GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made of glass fibers embedded in a plastic resin matrix. The main difference lies in the type of fibers used (carbon vs. glass) and their respective properties in terms of strength, weight, and cost.
