Abstract:
Optical factors affecting hair appearance are reviewed based on hair structures from macroscopic to microscopic viewpoints. Hair appearance is the result of optical events, such as reflection, refraction, scattering, and absorption. The effects of hair structures on such optical events are summarized and structural conditions for hair appearance are considered. Hair structures are classified into the following: the alignment of multiple hair fibers, the cross-sectional shape of the hair fiber, and the microstructures of hair fiber (cuticle, cortex, and medulla). The alignment of multiple hair fibers is easily affected by the existence of meandering fibers and their alignment along hair length becomes less-synchronized. The less-synchronized orientation of multiple fibers causes the broadening of the apparent reflection and luster-less dull impression. The cross-sectional shape of hair fiber affects light reflection behavior. Hair fibers with elliptical cross-section show glittering colored light based on total reflection in the hair. The scaly structures of cuticles at the surface of hair are often uplifted and cause light scattering, and then affect hair luster. The porous structure of the cortex and medulla in hair fiber can cause light scattering and affect hair luster and color. The above phenomena suggest that important factors for hair appearance are the alignment of multiple hair fibers, appropriate cross-sectional shape, ordered scaly structure, and pore-less internal structure.

Abstract:
Composite materials are formed by two or more constituents at macroscopic level. Type and form of fiber plays a vital role in imparting required properties to the composite. Many researchers contributed to the development of artificial fiber composites which are not environmental friendly in nature. Sizable research is also done in the area of natural fiber composites. Human hair is a non-biodegradable waste available in abundant quantity across the world, but is rarely explored for applications in engineering fields. In the present study, a review on behavior of human hair fibers was made to understand their suitability as a reinforcing material in composites. Morphology of the hair fibers is reviewed and the density of the hair fibers was determined using Archimedes principle. Tensile strength of the hair fibers is experimentally estimated. Chemical resistivity and burning tests were conducted. Tensile and flexural properties of hair fiber reinforced polyester composite were experimentally determined and compared.

Abstract:
Dermal elastic fibers are believed to have a primary role in providing elastic stretch and recoil to the skin. Here we compare the structural arrangement of dermal elastic fibers of chick skin and different animal species. Most elastic fibers in chick skin are derived from cells that line the feather follicle and/or smooth muscle that connects the pterial and apterial muscle bundles to feather follicles. Elastic fibers in the dermis of animals with single, primary hair follicles are derived from cells lining the hair follicle or from the ends of the pili muscle, which anchors the muscle to the matrix or to the hair follicle. Each follicle is interconnected with elastic fibers. Follicles of animals with primary and secondary (wool) hair follicles are also interconnected by elastic fibers, yet only the elastic fibers derived from the primary follicle are connected to each primary follicle. Only the primary hair follicles are connected to the pili muscle. Human skin, but not the skin of other primates, is significantly different from other animals with respect to elastic fiber organization and probably cell of origin. The data suggest that the primary role for elastic fibers in animals, with the possible exception of humans, is movement and/or placement of feathers or hair.

Abstract:
Rabbit hair is an important animal fiber in China, making up 90% of the total output in the world. Fuds is one of familiar problems in the processing of rabbit hair, which lead to plenty of waste fibers. Recently, there has been interest in converting protein fibers into powder to develop their new uses. This provides great opportunities for waste rabbit hair. In this study, rabbit hair powders have been produced and the structure and properties were characterized at multi-level. Surface morphology of rabbit hair powders was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the majority of rabbit hair powders appear to be small fibrous particles. The FTIR spectrum of rabbit hair and rabbit hair powders was detected. Although no new chemical bonds were produced in the rabbit hair powders, the result showed that some absorbing peaks of rabbit hair powder become stronger than that of rabbit hair. Absorption of rabbit hair powders was also investigated. The result showed that rabbit hair powder had higher moisture retention rate than that of rabbit hair, wool fiber and cotton fiber. Moreover, rabbit hair powder showed remarkable sorption ability for metal ions. The characterization of rabbit hair powder will provide useful basal data for the further application of rabbit hair in novel areas.

Abstract:
In this experiment, the effects of hair fibers on friction and wear property, Rockwell hardness and impact strength of friction materials were examined. The results showed that friction coefficient increases and stabilizes and specific wear rates were decrease as the hair fibers were filled and, particularly, 1% of the hair fiber content had a significant effect in the friction material. As temperature was changed, the stability of the friction coefficient of friction materials can be improved, the Rockwell hardness decrease and the impact strengths increase by way of increasing the content of hair fibers. The worn surfaces of friction materials were examined by scanning electron microscopy and wear mechanisms were analyzed. So it’s a kind of quite good non-asbestos friction material.

Abstract:
1. Somata of primary afferent fibers were impaled in the L7 or S1 dorsal root ganglion in cats anesthetized with alpha-chloralose. Individual cells (n = 182) were characterized according to receptive field (RF) and by the peripheral mechanoreceptor they innervated. They were then stimulated intracellularly while recording the evoked cord dorsum potentials (CDPs) simultaneously at four sites. CDPs were recorded in response to single fiber stimulation while varying both the frequency and the numbers of action potentials (APs) evoked per trial. Stimulus parameters included: 1) single APs evoked at both high (18 Hz) and low (0.67 Hz) frequencies, 2) pairs of APs (50-ms ISI) delivered at 0.67 Hz, and 3) trains of four APs (20-ms ISI) also delivered at 0.67 Hz. The properties of the CDPs and their relationship to receptor type innervated by the fiber were determined. 2. CDPs evoked by 18-Hz stimulation consisted of an axon fiber spike followed at a short latency [600 +/- 9.9 (SEM) microseconds] by the onset of a monophasic negative wave. A-beta-afferent fibers innervating slowly adapting type 1 and 2 receptors (SA1 and SA2) evoked the largest amplitude CDPs followed by field and hair follicle afferents while A-delta-fibers rarely produced measurable CDPs at this frequency of stimulation. 3. The magnitude of the CDP varied at the four recording sites with clear evidence in individual experiments that the projections of individual fibers are somatotopically organized. 4. CDPs evoked by 0.67-Hz stimulation had the same onset latency but were larger in amplitude and had longer time-to-peak and durations than those elicited by high frequency stimulation. Under these conditions A-beta-fibers innervating hair follicles produced the largest CDPs followed by field receptors and SA1s and SA2s. A-beta- and A-delta-fibers innervating high threshold mechanoreceptors (HTMRs) and A-delta-fibers innervating down hair follicles (D-hairs) produced CDPs of amplitude and duration similar to those evoked by slower A-beta-fibers. 5. The response to a test stimulus delivered 50 ms after a conditioning stimulus to the same single fiber was always depressed in the case of A-beta-fibers supplying rapidly adapting receptors. The conditioning stimulus exerted relatively little effect on the response to the test stimulus for A-beta- fibers innervating slowly adapting receptors. The test response to stimulation of A-beta- and A-delta- fibers innervating HTMRs was consistently facilitated while stimulation of A-delta- D-hairs evoked either marked facilitation or slight depression.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract:
Rabbit hair fibers were modified by L-cystine under the action of ultrasound and a kind of modified rabbit hair fiber was obtained. An orthogonal test of four factors and three levels was designed. The range analysis was analyzed using a comprehensive score method of friction factor and fiber strength, and the variance analysis was carried out by Statistical Package for Social Science statistical software. The optimal modification conditions were obtained: a concentration of L-cystine (A) of 0.05 mol/L, ultrasonic power (B) of 90 W, a water bath temperature (C) of 75℃, and ultrasonic treatment time (D) of 1 hour. Univariate analysis showed the L-cystine concentration had the most significant effect on the modification of rabbit hair fibers, and the regression equation is y = 74.423 + 1300.267 A−1.818 C−9092A2 + 0.019C2. The surface brightness of the modified rabbit hair fibers was enhanced and the scale angle was increased 20° by setting up the angle of the scale model and the electron microscope. The internal structure of rabbit hair fibers was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, peak separation, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that L-cystine reduced the disulfide bond in the macromolecular chain by 3%, resulting in a change in the secondary structure of the rabbit hair, a decrease in the α-helix structure content, and an increase in β-folding structure content. Ellman’s reagent was used to determine that the content of the sulfhydryl group consumed in the modification was 0.211 mol/L. Testing the dye adsorption capacity and spinnability (adding 20%) of modified rabbit hair fibers showed an obvious improvement.

Abstract:
The vestibular nerve is composed of fibers with a wide spectrum of diameters. The fibers of largest diameter are known to innervate the type I hair cells of the cristae, while the small-diameter fibers innervate the type II hair cells. Midsized fibers (dimorphic fibers) represent neurons that innervate both type I and type II hair cells. Reports by others have commented on the tendency for clustering of fibers with like diameters. Rigorous statistical proof for or against clustering has not yet been presented. The explanation for this is, in part, the mathematic complexity of analyzing clustering in a system composed of three elements. We report a new method for analysis of fiber clustering and apply this method to large-, medium-, and small-diameter fibers in the feline vestibular nerve. The fiber grouping in the caudal and rostral ends of the vestibular nerves of six normal animals is compared to that in similar areas of the nerves of five animals 12 to 17 months after unilateral labyrinthectomy. No statistically significant clustering of fiber types was found in the rostral portion of either the control or the labyrinthectomized animals. In the caudal portion of the control nerves, clustering of the large fibers was demonstrated (p <.005, χ2 test). This clustering was not demonstrated after labyrinthectomy. An explanation of these findings is discussed. The method used in this study to analyze fiber clustering may be applicable to other nerve systems of greater complexity.

Abstract:
When literature is reviewed in detail, it can be seen that there is limited research, especially on Angora rabbit fiber and again in none of the research was the felting propensity of luxury protein fibers from different origins (goat, camelid and rabbit) related with fiber properties, such as cuticle scale frequency and scale height. For this purpose, hair-based luxury fibers, which are most widely used and consumed all over the world (cashmere, mohair, angora, Huacaya alpaca and Suri alpaca) were chosen in order to measure fiber diameter, fiber length, cuticle scale frequency and scale height of these fibers. As a result, detailed relations about the felting propensity of the hair-based luxury fibers with the fiber properties were investigated. According to the experimental analysis, it was determined that angora, which is the finest and the shortest animal fiber, showed the lowest felting propensity. On the other hand, Suri alpaca fiber with a low scale height gave the highest feltability due to being the longest among the investigated fibers.

Abstract:

Fibers are ubiquitous in our visual world. Hair is an important part of our appearance, and we wear and use clothes made from various types of fibers. Computer graphics models that can accurately simulate light scattering in these materials have applications in the production of media such as movies and video games. They can also significantly lower the cost of textile design by allowing designers to design fabrics entirely in silico, render realistic images for feedback, and then fabricate final products that look exactly as designed.

Recent research has shown that renderings of the highest quality—those showing realistic reflectance and complex geometric details—can be obtained by modeling individual fibers. However, this approach raises many open problems. For hair, the effect of fiber cross sections on light scattering behavior has never been carefully studied. For textiles, several competing approaches for fiber-level modeling exist, and it has been unclear which is the best. Furthermore, there has been no general procedure for matching textile models to real fabric appearance, and rendering such models requires considerable computing resources. In this dissertation, we present solutions to these open problems.

Our first contribution is a light scattering model for human hair fibers that more accurately takes into account how light interacts with their elliptical cross sections. The model has been validated by a novel measurement device that captures light scattered from a single hair fiber much more efficiently than previous methods.

Our second contribution is a general and powerful optimization framework for estimating parameters of a large class of appearance models from observations of real materials, which greatly simplifies development and testing of such models. We used the framework to systematically identify best practices in fabric modeling, including how to represent geometry and which light scattering model to use for textile fibers.

Our third contribution is a fast, precomputation-based, GPU-friendly algorithm for approximately rendering fiber-level textile models under environment illumination. Using only a single commodity GPU, our implementation can render high-resolution, supersampled images of micron-resolution fabrics with multiple scattering in tens of seconds, compared to tens of core-hours required by CPU-based algorithms. Our algorithm makes fiber-level models practical for applications that require quick feedback, such as interactive textile design.

We expect these contributions will make realistic physically-based virtual prototyping a reality.

Abstract:
The project Kera-Plast aims to re-loop humans and nature by questioning the current systems and ethics through materiality. Human hair, currently considered as waste, functions as the base for the material exploration fabricated through thermo-compression molding. The flexible, short and opaque keratin-fibers get glued together with heat, pressure and water, acting as a plasticizer during the compression molding process. The results are stiff and remind on plastic due to shine and translucency. Aesthetics and function of the resulting material are controlled and designed by traditional textile techniques as knitting, weaving and non-woven processes. The material samples display the potential of Kera-Plast in the categories of 3D surface structures, patterns, shapeability and the influence of light. The findings also provide information about the parameters for designing with keratin fibers through the thermo-compression process. It can be concluded that despite all ethical and cultural factors, Kera-Plast and its fabrication method has the potential to add a sustainable, functional and aesthetical value to the design field and our future material consumption.

Abstract:
The advent of nuclear DNA (nuDNA) analysis altered the way forensic biology was both practised and viewed by the forensic biologists, police, the legal system and the general public. The ability of nuDNA to individualise analysis of evidence and attach a statistical frequency ratio to the result, created an expectation that numerical objectivity should be part of all forensic analysis. There are few scientists who would disagree with both the need and desirability of objective measures of their results. Forensic hair examiners are no exception as indicated by numerous scientific publications specifically discussing means of objectively assessing hair and its characteristics. While mitochondrial DNA offers a partially objective measure of hair the result is destructive of the sample. A method that objectively supports the hair analysts' microscopic findings and is non destructive would be beneficial to forensic hair examination. This project attempted to develop an objective measure of hair analysis by using both traditional light microscopic comparative techniques combined with a high end digital imaging and image analysis capacity. Where objectivity equals an empirical set of numbers that can be manipulated for statistical significance, the comparative biological sciences such as histology, anthropology and forensic hair examination struggle. Forensic hair examiners have long acknowledged the difficulty, even inability, of assigning numerical values to the features that characterise one hair as being different from another. The human scalp hair is a "morphological" unit that is not readily split into component parts or even that these parts lend themselves to a number value. There have been at least nine separate studies which favourably compare the specificity of microscopic hair examinations. The challenge this study addressed was to appraise the use of numerical features in forensic hair examination, with particular emphasis on those features currently resisting numerical evaluation; specifically, colour and pigmentary characteristics. The techniques used were based on obtaining high quality digital images, and using the pixels inherent in the images to obtain numerical values of such features as colour and pigmentation. The project sample was taken from the telogen scalp hairs obtained from the hairbrushes of ten nominally brown haired Caucasians, both male and female. The focus was twofold: o Compare colour analysis of hair images from brown haired Caucasians within three standard, internationally recognized colour models, namely Red-Green-Blue (RGB) colour model; CIE XYZ Tristimulus (1931) colour model; and CIE L*a*b* (1976) colour model. o Using the same sets of digital images, undertake pattern recognition analysis both intra and inter individual hair samples. Discriminate analysis of the mean colour values collected for each of the inherent colour variables in the three colour models (red, green, blue; X, Y, Z and L*, a*, b*) indicated the RGB colour model gave the least separation of brown haired individuals; CIE XYZ and CIE L*a*b* separated several individuals for all their individual samples and several other individuals were mostly separated with only one of their own samples overlapping with another. Pattern analysis used a small area that represented the overall pigment patterning observed along the length of the hair shaft. This area was extracted from the digital image within V++ Digital Optics image analysis software. The extracted pattern piece was then compared with other sample images within the same hair and four other hairs from the same individual. Pattern extracts were also compared between person hair samples. The comparisons generated a set of numerical values based on the pixel number on the "x" axis of the whole image and the average difference between the extracted pattern image and the whole image. Analysis of this data resulted in log distributions when persons were matched with themselves. It was also possible to refer an unknown pattern extract to this distribution and based on probabilities, predict as to whether or not the unknown sample fell within any of the known sample's distribution.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter aims to present the genetics of fibre and fur production in the rabbit. It focuses first on general biology of hair covering and hair development of the rabbit. A clear understanding of the biological basis of the coat is essential for a better understanding of the genetic basis of fibre and fur production. It then examines the genetic basis of hair growth pattern and coat composition for fibre and fur production. Selection of rabbit on coat colour, a component of fur production, will be dealt with very briefly. Genetics and molecular genetics of coat colour is the subject of Chapter 6 of this book.

Abstract:
Performance demands of future unmanned air vehicles will require rapid autonomous responses to changes in environment. Towards this goal, we expect that the next generation flight control systems will include advanced sensors beyond the contemporary array. One promising scenario correlates measurements of flow footprints over aircraft surfaces with aerodynamic data to aid navigation and feedback control algorithms. As a sensor for this concept, we construct artificial hair sensors (AHSs) based on glass microfibers enveloped in an annular, radially-aligned piezoresistive carbon nanotube (CNT) forest to measure air flow in boundary layers. This study includes an analysis of the sensitivity based on laboratory scale electromechanical testing. The sensors in this work utilize nine micron diameter S2 glass fibers as the sensing mechanism for coupling to boundary layer air flows. The annular CNT forest resides in a fused silica microcapillary with electrodes at the entrance. The sensor electrical transduction mechanism relies on the resistance change of the CNT forest due to changes in both the bulk and contact resistance as a function of mechanical loading on the fiber. For the electromechanical analysis, the sensors are controllably loaded to measure both the force and moment acting at the base of the hair and the resulting deflection of the CNT forest inside of the microcapillary is measured to estimate the stress on the forest and the pressure between the forest and the electrode. The electrical responses of the sensors are compared to the mechanical state of the CNT forest. This work represents the development of a characterization tool to better understand and control the response of CNT based AHSs.

Abstract:
The hair cell is a biological sensor that uses microscopic hair-like structures to detect delicate motions of surrounding fluid. Inspired by this principle, we have created an artificial hair cell (AHC) sensory method based on biomolecular transduction for sensing spatial variations in air flow. The key feature of this method is the use of one-dimensional arrays built from modular AHC units which measure local velocity at different points in a flow profile. Each of the AHC units uses thinly extruded glass fibers as mechanical receptors of air velocity. Hair vibrations are converted to current via hydrogel-supported lipid bilayer membranes through their mechanocapacitive properties. Preliminary tests with linear arrays of three AHC units attempt to measure the air source profile with varying position and intensity. Each unit was fabricated with a hair of different length, giving it a unique vibrational response. This technique was inspired by how organisms use hair cells with tuned responses to mechanically process flow stimuli. A significant challenge in processing the sensors’ output was the limitation of one input channel on the current measurement unit, thus each sensor output had to be sent over the same channel. When several AHC units are excited simultaneously by an airflow, the resulting signal is a superposition of each sensor’s individual response. To separate the signals back into their individual measurements, the Hair Frequency Response Decomposition method is developed, which maps the spectral content of a combined output to the location of excitation in the array. This method takes advantage of the AHC’s high signal-to-noise ratio (compared to other membrane-based AHCs) and linear output response to flow velocity. Results show that the bilayers’ consistent spectral responses allow for an accurate localization of sensor excitation within the array. However, temporal variations in bilayer size affect sensitivity properties and make accurate flow velocity estimation difficult. Nevertheless, under stable bilayer conditions the measured velocity profiles matched closely with theoretical predictions. The implementation of the array sensing method demonstrates the sensory capability of bilayer-based AHC arrays, but highlights the difficulties of achieving consistent performance with bio-molecular materials.

Abstract:
Keratin, a natural biomaterial found within the hair, nails, and epidermis of humans, has shown promise of being a useful material for tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery systems, due in part to its favorable biological qualities. The scaffolds generated by electrospinning are useful in proliferating cells, and can even biodegrade over time, reducing the impact on the body and not invoking any adverse tissue response. This research details the extraction process of keratin from human hair, and using electrospinning to weave the keratin into nanofibrous polymers. Using a synthetic polymer solution, for example, polycaprolactone (PCL) in trifluoroethanol (TFE), keratin was easily mixed and successfully electrospun into nanofibers. The fiber formation characteristics and nanofiber morphology was studied under a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
