  3. Total contact casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_contact_casting

    The curing time of a fiberglass cast is far shorter than plaster of Paris, letting the patient walk with an outer boot within an hour of application. Because casts made of fiberglass have lower breakdown rate and do not impede patient mobility, this material has become the choice for TCC. [11] [12] In 2003, the first TCC casting system that ...

  4. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

    Fiberglass (American English) or fibreglass (Commonwealth English) is a common type of fiber-reinforced plastic using glass fiber.The fibers may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet called a chopped strand mat, or woven into glass cloth.

  5. Casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting

    Simulation accurately describes a cast component's quality up-front before production starts. The casting rigging can be designed with respect to the required component properties. This has benefits beyond a reduction in pre-production sampling, as the precise layout of the complete casting system also leads to energy, material, and tooling ...

  6. Glass fiber reinforced concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fiber_reinforced...

    GRC (Glass fibre-reinforced concrete) ceramic consists of high-strength, alkali-resistant glass fibre embedded in a concrete & ceramic matrix. [1] In this form, both fibres and matrix retain their physical and chemical identities, while offering a synergistic combination of properties that cannot be achieved with either of the components acting alone.

  7. Cured-in-place pipe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cured-in-place_pipe

    A resin impregnated felt tube made of polyester, fiberglass cloth, spread tow carbon fiber or other resin-impregnable substance, is inserted or pulled through a damaged pipe, usually from an upstream access point such as a manhole or excavation. (It is possible to insert the liner from a downstream access point, but this is more risky).

  8. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

    Bakelite was the first fibre-reinforced plastic. Leo Baekeland had originally set out to find a replacement for shellac (made from the excretion of lac bugs).Chemists had begun to recognize that many natural resins and fibres were polymers, and Baekeland investigated the reactions of phenol and formaldehyde.

  9. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

    This technology involves a method of refining, blending, and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams to form a high-strength fiber composite material in a polymer matrix. The designated waste or base raw materials used in this instance are those of waste thermoplastics and various categories of cellulosic waste including rice ...
