Fiber Interaction

Fiber–fiber interaction plays an important role in the evolution of fiber orientation in semi-concentrated suspensions. Flow induced orientation in short-fiber reinforced composites determines the anisotropic properties of manufactured parts and consequently their performances. In the case of dilute suspensions, the orientation evolution can be accurately described by using the Jeffery model; however, as soon as the fiber concentration increases, fiber–fiber interactions cannot be ignored anymore and the final orientation state strongly depends on the modeling of those interactions. First modeling frameworks described these interactions from a diffusion mechanism; however, it was necessary to consider richer descriptions (anisotropic diffusion, etc.) to address experimental observations. Even if different proposals were considered, none of them seem general and accurate enough. In this paper we do not address a new proposal of a fiber interaction model, but a data-driven methodology able to enrich existing models from data, that in our case comes from a direct numerical simulation of well resolved microscopic physics.

Longitudinal Fiber

Dupuytren's Contracture is a nodular proliferation of the longitudinal fiber bundles of palmar fascia with its attendant contraction. The factors attributed to its etiology have included trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, arthritis, and auto-immune disease. The tissue has been observed by electron microscopy and found to contain myofibroblasts.Dupuytren's Contracture constitutes a scar, and as such, excessive collagen can be observed, along with an active form of fibroblast.Previous studies of the hypertrophic scar have led us to propose that integral in the initiation and sustenance of scar tissue is a profusion of microvascular regeneration, much of which becomes and remains occluded producing a hypoxia which stimulates fibroblast synthesis. Thus, when considering a study of Dupuytren's Contracture, we predicted finding occluded microvessels at or near the fascial scarring focus.Three cases of Dupuytren's Contracture yielded similar specimens, which were fixed in Karnovskys fluid for 2 to 20 days. Upon removal of the contracture bands care was taken to include the contiguous fatty and areolar tissue which contain the vascular supply and to identify the junctional area between old and new fascia.

Root Fiber

The ultrastructure of the normal oral apparatus of Stentor has not been extensively studied. I report here on the ultrastructure of the buccal cavity of Stentor coeruleus.Stentor coeruleus was fixed in either a buffered mixture of osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde, or in buffered glutaraldehyde alone. Cells were then dehydrated and embedded in a mixture of Epon and Araldite.An extensive adoral zone of membranelles surrounds the anterior of the cell, and each membranelle consists of 2 parallel rows of cilia. These extend down into the buccal cavity. Two microtubular root fibers, or nemadesmata (Figs. 2 and 5), extend deeply into the cytoplasm from the base of each ciliary kinetosome. Mitochondria are usually closely associated with the root fiber bundles, and small vesicles are present between the nemadesmata of adjacent kinetosomes (Fig. 5). In the cytopharyngeal, non-ciliated areas of the buccal cavity, microtubular ribbons which extend into the cytoplasm are aligned perpendicular to the plasma membrane of the buccal cavity (Figs. 1 and 2).

Deposition Techniques

Particles of BN,and C are added in amounts of 1 to 40% to SiC and Si3N4 ceramics in order to improve their mechanical properties. The ceramics are then processed by sintering, hot-pressing and chemical vapor deposition techniques to produce dense products. Crack deflection at the particles can increase toughness. However the high temperature strength and toughness are determined byphase interactions in the environmental conditions used for testing. Examination of the ceramics by transmission electron microscopy has shown that the carbon and boron nitride particles have a fibrous texture. In the sintered aSiC ceramic the carbon appears as graphite fiber bundles in the triple junctions and as compact graphite particles within some grains. Examples of these inclusions are shown in Fig. 1A and B.

AbstractThe rheological characterization of concentrated suspensions is complicated by the heterogeneous nature of their flow. In this contribution, the shear viscosity and wall slip velocity are quantified for highly concentrated suspensions (solid volume fractions of 0.55–0.60, D4,3 ~ 5 µm). The shear viscosity was determined using a high-pressure capillary rheometer equipped with a 3D-printed die that has a grooved surface of the internal flow channel. The wall slip velocity was then calculated from the difference between the apparent shear rates through a rough and smooth die, at identical wall shear stress. The influence of liquid phase rheology on the wall slip velocity was investigated by using different thickeners, resulting in different degrees of shear rate dependency, i.e. the flow indices varied between 0.20 and 1.00. The wall slip velocity scaled with the flow index of the liquid phase at a solid volume fraction of 0.60 and showed increasingly large deviations with decreasing solid volume fraction. It is hypothesized that these deviations are related to shear-induced migration of solids and macromolecules due to the large shear stress and shear rate gradients.
