This is consistent with a paan chewing habit, where the rough fibres of the betel quid cause frictional damage to the epithelial surface of the mucosa (Lalli et al, 2008).
The test results show that coir fibre had a much cleaner and rougher fibre surface after the alkali treatment.
Asbestos' brittle, smooth-surfaced fibres are difficult to spin, tending to slip past each other unless blended with a rough-surfaced fibre, such as cotton, which typically makes up 10 25 percent of the blend.
It is shown that the combination of the rough microcrack and fibre-bridging sub-models allows microcracking behaviour deriving from both tensile and compressive loads to be modelled in a unified manner.
SAXS detects rough interfaces within the fibres, normal to the fibre axis and belonging to a fibril structure.
Diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) can be used for a non-invasive approach, however the rough and uneven surface of fibres in tapestries may produce erroneous results and spectra that are difficult to interpret [23].
Nomad goat owners usually sell the whole fibre, unsorted, containing both rough outer hair and the inner fine cashmere to local or travelling merchants or traders.
All nomad goat owners sold the whole fibre, undehaired, containing both rough outer hair and the inner fine cashmere, to local or travelling merchants or traders.
The surface of jute fibre in control was rough, multicellular, and unevenly angular with verrucose lines and covered by impurities.
It is possible that the roughened patches at the surface of the mercerized cotton fibres will contain a higher proportion of amorphous cellulose than the underlying fibre, as these protruding rough regions were more exposed to the NaOH used for mercerization.
