  2. 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.

  3. GLARE - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLARE

    The number of aluminum layers is always one more than the number of glass fiber layers, and the aluminum layer thickness is in millimeters, which can range from 0.2 to 0.5 mm (0.0079 to 0.0197 in; 7.9 to 19.7 mils). (Glare1 can only consist of aluminum layers of 0.3 to 0.4 mm (0.012 to 0.016 in; 12 to 16 mils) thickness, though.)

    The thermal grease 860 is a silicone oil with a Zinc Oxide filler and 8616 and 8617 are synthetic oils with various fillers including Aluminum Oxide and Boron Nitride. At 25 °C the densities are 2.40, 2.69 and 1.96 g/mL for the greases 860, 8616 and 8617 respectively. Helium II

  5. Glass fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_fiber

    Glass wool, which is one product called "fiberglass" today, was invented some time between 1932 and 1933 by Games Slayter of Owens-Illinois, as a material to be used as thermal building insulation. [1] It is marketed under the trade name Fiberglas, which has become a genericized trademark. Glass fiber, when used as a thermal insulating material ...

  7. Strength of glass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_glass

    Glass fibers have a much higher tensile strength than regular glass (200-500 times stronger than regular glass). [7] This is due to the reduction of flaws in glass fibers [8] and the small cross sectional area of glass fibers, constraining maximum defect size.

  8. Heavy metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metals

    Heavier heavy metals are not usually formed this way since fusion reactions involving such nuclei would consume rather than release energy. [93] Rather, they are largely synthesised (from elements with a lower atomic number) by neutron capture , with the two main modes of this repetitive capture being the s-process and the r-process .

  9. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    To emphasize the point, consider the issue of choosing a material for building an airplane. Aluminum seems obvious because it is "lighter" than steel, but steel is stronger than aluminum, so one could imagine using thinner steel components to save weight without sacrificing (tensile) strength.
