The North American fiber-reinforced plastic/composite market is estimated at 2.7 billion pounds in 2010 and is expected to increase to about 3.1 billion by 2015, reflecting a 2.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). Construction/infrastructure and automotive products are the key applications of this market since they comprise about 60% of total volume. This sector is valued at 836 million pounds in 2010 and is expected to reach 963 million pounds in 2015, a 2.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The largest growth will be experienced by the very low volume aerospace market led by the introduction of composite commercial aircraft exterior parts such as fuselages and wings. This sector is estimated at 20 million pounds in 2010 and should increase at a 7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 28 million pounds in 2015. INTRODUCTIONREASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY The emergence of new technologies and markets warrants a reappraisal of the reinforced plastics market, often called “composites.” Nanocomposites and long-fiber reinforced thermoplastics are the two most prominent and potentially commercially important examples that have begun to impact this market. In addition, a review of reinforced plastics is needed with a view towards appropriately segmenting the major components of this market into its resin, technology, and applications components. Fillers and reinforcements need to be carefully defined when it comes to their principal functions and effects on properties of substrate resins since many terms and market estimates used within this industry are not clear cut. Another important reason for undertaking this report is to assess the current and future scenario of this market in terms of the current financial recession, which has had an enormous impact on two of the largest applications of reinforced plastics, namely construction and automotive. SCOPE OF THE STUDY This report covers usage of both thermosets and thermoplastics that use fillers and reinforcements to increase their respective property profiles. Fillers will be differentiated from reinforcements, which in turn, will include both fibrous and non-fibrous variants. The term “fillers/reinforcements” will be used when generally referring to these materials as in most literature references, mainly because many nontechnical sources often do not distinguish fillers from reinforcements. For the purposes of this report, the following are defined as fillers and not reinforcements: aluminum trihydrate (ATH), barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and kaolins. Talcs, mica, silicas, and wollastonite are treated as non-fibrous reinforcements. Fibrous reinforcements will include all glass fiber variants, carbon, boron, ceramic, aramid, and stainless steel fibers, and so forth. The major exception will be nanocomposites, which are based on fillers and will be included in the study. There have been quite a few lengthy reports based solely on composites. A basic premise in distinguishing between a “filler” and a “reinforcement” is whether the primary function of the material is used to enhance property profiles of substrate resins. If the answer is “yes,” then it can be considered a “reinforcement.” This definition is, of course, arbitrary, especially since in many cases mineral “fillers” are used in conjunction with fibrous materials, most notably glass. Another source of confusion is the constant overlapping of the terms “reinforced plastics” and “composites.” One distinction between these two terms, cited by some within the industry, is that the latter refers to those reinforced resins that can “support a load” or are “structurally reinforced.” This definition is also arbitrary. Therefore, in this report, the terms “reinforced plastics” and “composites” will be used interchangeably unless specifically designate

Abstract
The present research was designed to check the workability and strength properties of sisal fiber reinforced concrete with different mix proportions and different percentage of fiber addition. The materials were chosen to improve the various strength properties of the structure to obtain sustainability and better quality structure. Short discrete vegetable fiber (sisal) was examined for its suitability for incorporation in cement concrete. The physical property of this fiber has shown no deterioration in a concrete medium. Fibers were brushed, lined up and cut to obtain 4cm length. Degree of workability of concrete mix with 0.2% super plasticizer and water cement ratio 0.45 had good workability with slump value 53mm and compaction factor 0.88, which is effective, was obtained. Materials were hand mixed with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 and M25 mix design and casted in cubes and cylinders. The obtained specimens were subjected to tests aimed to check the compressive, tensile and flexural strength. An increase in compressive strength by 50.53% and tensile strength by 3.416% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M20 mix design respectively. An increase in compressive strength by 52.51% and tensile strength by 3.904% was observed for 1.5% addition of fiber in M25 mix design respectively.

The Future of Direct Communications Technologies and Proximity-based Applicat...ReportLinker.com
Overview: There are a number of technologies that may be deployed that all provide the ability for devices to "discover" one another, although over different distances ranging from centimeters (Near Field Communications), to meters (Bluetooth), to 10s of meters (Wi-Fi). They also all provide the ability for the devices to communicate directly with one another without a centralized network. Some of these use direct communication as their primary mode of communication e.g. NFC or RFID. Others are more traditional networks which provide direct communication ability as an adjunct to their primary network functions e.g. LTE-Direct or Wi-Fi Direct. Most of the short-term drivers for proximity-based services will be mobile advertising and social networking, especially friend-finder services or dating services, and gaming. In the longer term, other applications will come into play within the scope of the so called Internet of Things. The challenge and opportunity for network operators will be to develop new user scenarios and even new business models to generate revenues from these services. This research uncovers opportunities that will be both beneficial and disruptive to the existing ecosystem and value chain.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Composites: Resins, Fillers, Reinforcements, Natural Fibers &
Nanocomposites
Published on January 2011
Report Summary
The North American fiber-reinforced plastic/composite market is estimated at 2.7 billion pounds in 2010 and is expected to increase to
about 3.1 billion by 2015, reflecting a 2.8% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
Construction/infrastructure and automotive products are the key applications of this market since they comprise about 60% of total
volume. This sector is valued at 836 million pounds in 2010 and is expected to reach 963 million pounds in 2015, a 2.9% compound
annual growth rate (CAGR).
The largest growth will be experienced by the very low volume aerospace market led by the introduction of composite commercial
aircraft exterior parts such as fuselages and wings. This sector is estimated at 20 million pounds in 2010 and should increase at a 7%
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach 28 million pounds in 2015.
INTRODUCTION
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
The emergence of new technologies and markets warrants a reappraisal of the reinforced plastics market, often called
“composites.” Nanocomposites and long-fiber reinforced thermoplastics are the two most prominent and potentially
commercially important examples that have begun to impact this market.
In addition, a review of reinforced plastics is needed with a view towards appropriately segmenting the major components of this
market into its resin, technology, and applications components. Fillers and reinforcements need to be carefully defined when it comes
to their principal functions and effects on properties of substrate resins since many terms and market estimates used within this
industry are not clear cut.
Another important reason for undertaking this report is to assess the current and future scenario of this market in terms of the current
financial recession, which has had an enormous impact on two of the largest applications of reinforced plastics, namely construction
and automotive.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This report covers usage of both thermosets and thermoplastics that use fillers and reinforcements to increase their respective
property profiles. Fillers will be differentiated from reinforcements, which in turn, will include both fibrous and non-fibrous variants.
The term “fillers/reinforcements” will be used when generally referring to these materials as in most literature
references, mainly because many nontechnical sources often do not distinguish fillers from reinforcements. For the purposes of this
Composites: Resins, Fillers, Reinforcements, Natural Fibers & Nanocomposites Page 1/24

ReportLinker and Market Statistics
report, the following are defined as fillers and not reinforcements: aluminum trihydrate (ATH), barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, and
kaolins. Talcs, mica, silicas, and wollastonite are treated as non-fibrous reinforcements. Fibrous reinforcements will include all glass
fiber variants, carbon, boron, ceramic, aramid, and stainless steel fibers, and so forth. The major exception will be nanocomposites,
which are based on fillers and will be included in the study. There have been quite a few lengthy reports based solely on composites.
A basic premise in distinguishing between a “filler” and a “reinforcement” is whether the primary function
of the material is used to enhance property profiles of substrate resins. If the answer is “yes,” then it can be considered
a “reinforcement.” This definition is, of course, arbitrary, especially since in many cases mineral “fillers”
are used in conjunction with fibrous materials, most notably glass.
Another source of confusion is the constant overlapping of the terms “reinforced plastics” and
“composites.” One distinction between these two terms, cited by some within the industry, is that the latter refers to
those reinforced resins that can “support a load” or are “structurally reinforced.” This definition is also
arbitrary.
Therefore, in this report, the terms “reinforced plastics” and “composites” will be used interchangeably
unless specifically designated by suppliers or in the trade literature as one or the other. In other instances, the term “reinforced
plastics/composites” will be used.
Current and forecasted quantitative market estimates will be provided for all appropriate thermoset and thermoplastic fiber-reinforced
resins by application, along with detailed descriptions of the major types of reinforcements. Fillers will be discussed in detail as well,
but will not be considered in the quantitative analysis of reinforced plastics/composites. It should also be pointed out that many
compounded resin formulations contain both fillers and reinforcements and many glass fiber reinforced resins contain other fibrous
and non-fibrous minerals.
Furthermore, the volumes of product shown in the tables refer only to the estimated weight of the resins and exclude weights of
reinforcements. The quantitative information contained in all data tables refers to the North American market, although there will be a
great deal of information provided for the global market.
Applications covered will include: automotive; construction/infrastructure including anti-corrosion and panel products; marine markets;
aerospace; electronic parts/components; appliances; consumer products (sport and leisure, lawn/garden products, etc.); and a
miscellaneous category including the power market, wind energy products, medical, and others.
METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. A comprehensive review and analysis was
undertaken of literature related to this industry, which is known by several names (e.g., reinforced plastics, composites, etc.). This
analysis included resins, applications, markets, technology, producers and suppliers, trade named products, new developments,
environmental issues, and so forth. Follow up calls were made to key contacts within the industry to clarify and/or expand on key
