“How Does the Body Function?” Do you consider your body a delicate temple‚ and do you give any thoughts to the daily functions it provides for you? Well‚ to name a few‚ the eyes‚ ears and skin play a vital role in our lives‚ and without these precious body parts I believe our life of living free would be limited. Someone once said that “the eyes provide a window to the soul‚ they also provide us with a window to the world.” Our vision starts when you look at an object; the light from

recreation applications. A fiber is a hair-like strand of material. “They are the smallest visible unit of a fabric and are denoted by being extremely long in relation to their width. Synthetic fibers are man made from chemicals. They are generally based on polymers and are stronger than natural and regenerated fibers. Synthetic fibers are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal and plant fibers” (NSP). In its physical form synthetic fibers are widely available

"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

The Living Fiber For centuries man has gratefully accepted the protective qualities of wool. By the carefully crossbreeding of sheep‚ he has developed fibers of different lengths‚ diameters‚ and various degrees of softness and crispness. Wool is almost custom-made by nature to fit the needs of man. In its processing and manufacture‚ man takes up where sheep left off. But while new processes and treatments have made wool more versatile in its uses‚ man has not improved the fiber itself. Wool

BASIC CHEMISTRY 1. What is the difference between being ionized and being polar? When ionized the atom will either lose or gain electrons. A polarized molecule has an overall neutral charge with positive and negative sides such as H2O. 2.
