fabrics and apparels. Rayon is one of the most peculiar fabrics in commercial use today. Rayon is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. Because it is produced from naturally occurring polymers, it is neither a truly synthetic fiber nor a natural fiber; it is a semi-synthetic or artificial fiber. Rayon is known by the names viscose rayon and art silk in the textile industry. It usually has a high luster quality giving it a bright sheen. Coloured rayon is bought by the industry from its suppliers

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 THE INDUSTRY Tyre industry consumes over 60% of the total rubber production with respect to Indian economy. But in actuality only just around 52% of the tyre is natural rubber. Remaining 48% consist of synthetic rubber, carbon, chemicals, etc. The origin of tyre industry in India dated back to 1926 when Dunlop Rubber Limited set up the first tyre factory in West Bengal. MRF followed the suit in 1946. Since then the Indian tyre industry has grown rapidly. Transportation

international tyre market and with technology skills of the Indian company would be integrated to the newly acquired plants to generate better operational efficiency and also improve production and productivity. Sourcing of raw materials like natural and synthetic rubber and chemicals could be made more efficient because of the acquisitions in the European arena and could result in better economies of scale for Apollo tyre. To diversify its presence in global markets and to generate nearly 60% revenue from

Part 1: Bending Water For the experiment I used a comb and various items with synthetic fiber. Being in the military I don’t have much hair to run a comb through. To begin I used a couple of throw pillows we have on our couch. Initially I didn’t see much of an effect. I tried a blanket and rubber the comb quite vigorously to make sure it would get a charge and place the comb higher near the faucet and saw the water begin to bend. I went on to continue with the balloon and it also bent the water

Synthetic Diamonds for Nanotechnology Diamonds may serve another purpose other than being fashionable ornaments. Scientists at the Ohio University have experimented how electrons flowed through diamonds. What they found was that electrons passing through diamond performed a magnetic effect wave, similar to the wave performed at sports games. Known as spin, this effect may have the capability of transmitting data through computer circuits with the use of synthetic diamond wiring. With characteristics

industrialization, the fabric industry transformed from one grounded in nature to one that relies heavily on synthetic materials and chemicals. For thousands of years before the introduction of synthetic fibers, the four great fibers in the fabric industry were flax, wool, cotton and silk, all products created from natural, rapidly renewable and abundant sources. Innovators developed synthetic fabrics to overcome some of the inherent limitations of natural fibers: cotton and linens wrinkle; silk requires

In 1986, Polysar Limited was Canada’s largest chemical company with $1.8 billion in annual sales. Based in Sarnia, Ontario, Polysar was the world’s largest producer of synthetic rubber and latex and a major producer of basic petrochemicals and fuel products. The results for NASA Rubber division for the first nine months were not as good as expected. Sales volume was up and feedstock costs were down resulting in a gross margin that was better than budget. The fixed costs of the butyl rubber plant

There are three basic kinds of automobile tires: bias; bias-belted; and radial. Bias-tires are built with rubberized cord fabric running diagonally from one tire rim to the other. Bias-belted tires are similar to bias tires but contain cord fabric belts between the plies and the tread. Radial tires are built with cord fabric running straight across the tire from one rim to the other. All radial tires are belted. The combination of radial ply and belting produces tires with longer tread life than
