Research and Markets: Essential Discussion on Chemical and Physical Properties of Individual Natural Fibres.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20532) has announced the addition of Bast Bast, in Egyptian religion Bast (băst), ancient Egyptian cat goddess. At first a goddess of the home, she later became known as a goddess of war. The center of her cult was at Bubastis. Her name also appears as Ubast. and Other Plant Fibres to their offering 'Bast and Other Plant Fibres' is the first book in over 50 years to cover the most interesting plant fibres and those with high annual production. Bast fibres Bast fibre (fiber) or skin fibre is fibre collected from the Phloem (the "inner bark" or the skin) or bast surrounding the stem of a certain mainly dicotyledonic plant. have many textile applications, with natural fibre composites being the fastest growing due to the combination of their relatively low cost and excellent technical characteristics. Following the editor's introductory chapter, which includes a comprehensive set of tables comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of the fibres, Chapter 2 discusses jute while Chapters 3 and 4 cover flax flax, common name for members of the Linaceae, a family of annual herbs, especially members of the genus Linum, and for the fiber obtained from such plants. The flax of commerce (several varieties of L. and hemp hemp, common name for a tall annual herb (Cannabis sativa) of the family Cannabinaceae, native to Asia but now widespread because of its formerly large-scale cultivation for the bast fiber (also called hemp) and for the drugs it yields. . Subsequent chapters are devoted to ramie ramie: see nettle. , sisal, coir and abaca. Chapter 9 brings together information on minor fibres that may deserve greater interest on the part of international markets, while Chapter 10 is dedicated to the use of bast and leaf fibres in composites. Information is included on production and processing, physical and chemical properties, and on economic, environmental, and health and safety considerations. This book will be an essential reference to academics and researchers in agriculture and horticulture as well as those working in textiles, apparel and industrial design, and textile testing and forensic science The application of scientific knowledge and methodology to legal problems and criminal investigations. Sometimes called simply forensics, forensic science encompasses many different fields of science, including anthropology, biology, chemistry, engineering, genetics, laboratories. It will also be invaluable to those working in government departments such as agriculture or trade and industry. Key features of the report: - Essential discussion on chemical and physical properties of individual natural fibres - Looks at environmental advantages of bast fibres over synthetic fibres - First book of its kind in over 50 years - Invaluable reference tool for academics and professionals in textile industry For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c20532 |
