Le coton, sa culture et son utilisation selon les sources arabes médiévales by Jean-Charles Ducène

“…Most of the terms used to describe the plant and its products are borrowed from Pahlavi and integrated very early in the Arabic language, which indicates the long history of the adoption of the fibre. From the 10th century onwards, botanical and agronomic works record the spread of the product towards the West and the singularisation of the professions linked to cotton, whether for the treatment of the fibre or the sale of the product.…”

Numerical Simulation Analysis of Unfilled and Filled Reinforced Polypropylene on Thin-Walled Parts Formed Using the Injection-Moulding Process by M. D. Azaman, S. M. Sapuan, S. Sulaiman, E. S. Zainudin, A. Khalina

“…The injection moulding of shallow, thin-walled parts with a thickness of 0.7 mm was performed using three types of materials from polypropylene, PP (PP, PP + 50 wt% wood composite, and PP + 10 wt% glass fibre composite). The highest deflection resulting from PP + 50 wt% wood does not occur in the critical area of the thin-walled part compared with PP + 10 wt% glass fibre. …”
