Do Thorlos come in natural fibers - like cotton or wool?

THOR•LO Socks - Frequently Asked Questions
Let's deal with one at time. Cotton is a great fiber for outer apparel. It is cool and breathable; and it feels good next to the skin. Unfortunately, in the closed environment of a shoe, it becomes the enemy of the foot. During activities both mild and vigorous, the foot perspires. Cotton is what is called a hydrophilic fiber - it attracts and absorbs moisture. As the cotton fiber gets wet, the fabric collapses and loses all of its protective capabilities.

Why does our Felt shed fibers?

Frequently Asked Questions
There are typically three explanations: 1) the Felt manufacturing process, 2) the application the Felt is under, and/or 3) the type fiber used to manufacture the felt is not suitable for the application. The Felt Manufacturing Process : requires a set "needling" procedure to insure interlocking of the fibers so they will not "pull" out or simply "lay" on the surface. See similar questions...

How are PVA fibers different from polypropylene fibers?

Frequently Asked Questions
They differ in many ways, but as reinforcement for concrete, these differences are especially notable. Polypropylene, nylon and the other synthetic fibers used in concrete serve only one purpose: to restrain plastic shrinkage during the first 24 hours after concrete is poured. Because of their high elongation, or "stretchiness", these fibers are essentially useless for the drying shrinkage and other sorts of cracking that all concrete suffers from. See similar questions...

What happens when nerve fibers regrow?

Spinal Cord Injuries
The nerve cell body remains intact, and only the "sending" or "receiving" fibers have to regrow as longer extensions from the nerve cell body. The peripheral nerves, outside the brain and spinal cord can do this quite easily. But within the brain and spinal cord there is much impediment to such regrowth. See similar questions...

What is the difference between Drymax® fiber and moisture wicking fibers like CooLMax®?

Strabell - Active Dry FAQ's
Wicking (capillary action) is the process by which moisture spreads out and moves from a wet area to a drier area. Wicking takes place because moisture has a greater attraction to the drier parts of the wicking fiber than it has to itself. However, wicking fibers are part of the problem because as the moisture wicks along the fiber, the greater adhesion of the moisture to the fiber causes it to leave moisture behind on the fiber.

How do fibers affect cement hydration? Why is this important?

UltraFiber 500 | FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
UltraFiberUltraFiber 500™ provides a hydration enhancement not possible with polypropylene fibers. UltraFiber 500™ fibers are hydrophilic meaning they readily absorb up to their weight in moisture - polypropylene fibers repel moisture. As concrete hydrates and water eventually becomes scarce, UltraFiber 500™ fibers will gradually release the absorbed water to allow unhydrated cement to hydrate. This results in concrete containing less unhydrated cement. See similar questions...
