applications. Quartz fiber is made from heating quartz rods with an oxyhydrogen flame. Then, filaments are drawn out of the quartz rod, creating quartz fibers. For

compatibility of the fiber and matrix is a measure of internal stress. The covalently bonded high strength fibers (e.g. carbon fibers) experience mostly

A quartz fiber dosimeter, sometimes called a self indicating pocket dosimeter (SIPD) or self reading pocket dosimeter (SRPD) or quartz fibre electrometer

rose quartz, unlike the iron and microscopic dumortierite fibers that formed rose quartz. Smoky quartz is a gray, translucent version of quartz. It ranges

Fused quartz, fused silica or quartz glass is a glass consisting of almost pure silica (silicon dioxide, SiO2) in amorphous (non-crystalline) form. This

thermoluminescent dosimeters. These use the property of a quartz fiber to measure the static electricity held on the fiber. Before use by the wearer a dosimeter is charged

paper pulps. The pulp may be made from softwood, hardwood, fiber crops, or mineral fibers. Filter paper has various properties. The important parameters

Columbian Exposition incorporating glass fibers with the diameter and texture of silk fibers. Glass fibers can also occur naturally, as Pele's hair.

those of carbon fibers. Fiberglass, made from specific glass, and optical fiber, made from purified natural quartz, are also artificial fibers that come from

These fibers are typically step-index fibers. The cladding of an all-silica fiber should not be confused with the polymer overcoat of the fiber. All-silica
