Abstract: In the field of economic and ecological material research which can replace the composite material currently used in several fields such as glass wool, research leads to a comparison of the mechanical properties and the quality of plates made from recycled materials with those of glass wool, in particular in terms of surface condition and geometric precision thus. In this study, we recycled and used damaged wool fibers in a composite material; the results showed that the new product has mechanical characteristics similar to those of fiberglass composite materials. The recycling of wool fiber reduces the cost of a product made of composite materials, with the possibility of a later study of the machinability of the plates made from this material and its use in various sectors.

Abstract: A new composition of bioactive glass was proposed that can be drawn into fibers, woven into cloth, and has appropriate alkali-releasing ability for bioactivity. The glass was drawn into fibers and woven into cloth, then the biological efficacy of the cloth was examined in in vivo tests. Bone defects made in tibial bones of Wistar rats were covered with the cloth just like "bandage" for two weeks. The cloth was found to promote new bone formation in the bone defects without causing any adverse effects. In contrast, excessive infection was recognized and new bone was not formed when cloth made of E-glass fibers was used. This was the first successful demonstration that glass cloth made of bioactive glass fibers assisted bone regeneration. The present glass cloth, therefore, is expected to be a promising material for "bone bandage" or porous scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract: The effect of different layers of glass cloth on carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite core is studied in this work. Carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite of different glass cloth content is made by pultrusion processing. Three point bending test and charpy impact test are taken to evaluate the toughness of different composite, and scanning electronic micro-scopy (SEM) and photograph are carried out to characterize the structure of different composite after destroyed. It is shown that, though at the cost of drop of tensile strength, the increase of glass cloth content in carbon fiber reinforced hybrid composite core improves the flexural strength and impact resistant, and does not affect the microscope destroy pattern and the microscopic structure of failure samples.
