formation of a very low-reflectance surface by electrostatic flocking

the implantation of carbon pile perpendicular to the substrate, thereby making it possible to form a surface having a very low reflectance owing to the so called light trap effect, where light beams incident of the surface are reflected and attenuated among the fibers no matter at which angle the light beam may incident, are considered. h..

waste minimization assessment for a manufacturer of commercial ice machines and ice storage bins. environmental research brief

waste minimization assessment centers (wmacs) were established at selected universities and procedures were adapted from the epa waste minimization opportunity assessment manual (epa/625/7-88/003, july 1988). the wmac team at colorado state university performed an assessment at a plant that manufactures commercial ice machines and ice sto..

hazardous material storage containers are used at the oak ridge y-12 plant for safely storing and/or transporting hazardous material products. figure 1 is a picture of the complete hazardous material storage container system. because of the adverse consequences associated with one of these containers leaking or releasing some or all of it..

interface fibre de verre/matrice polyepoxy: introduction d'une interphase a proprietes controllees (fiber glass/polyepoxy matrix interface: introducing an interphase of controlled properties) ph.d. thesis

the interface between a polyepoxy matrix and e glass fibers submitted to various surface treatments is studied by means of two adhesion tests. a pull-out test and a microfilament fragmentation test are carried out. the glass fibers are used untreated or simply washed in a solvent. the behavior of glass fibers wrapped in an interphase of k..

industry sector analysis canada: women's apparel. export trade information

the analysis covers women's/girls' apparel. it does not include swimwear, lingerie, foundation garments, or sleepwear. the canadian market for women's apparel grew from us$4,398 million in 1989 to us$4,707 million in 1990 and an estimated us$4,458 million in 1991 indications are that the estimated annual average real growth during the nex..
