Plush Like Cloth Made by Powerful Electric Discharge
A textile process uses 50 000 volt electrostatic plates to align tiny fiber particles on adhesive coated fabric creating a plush fabric. Each square inch may hold up to 300 000 fibers several hundredths of an inch long, enabling diverse fabrics from neckties to carpets though rubber shortages slow production.
Plant species yield rubber in the United States and abroad
Science Service notes hundreds of plants contain rubber words. Guayule and rabbit-brush thrive in arid western lands and offer harvestable rubber. Milkweed, koksagyz, and Hevea brasiliensis show varied rubber content. Synthetic rubber from oil may remain the dominant source.

New Machines And Gadgets
Concrete highways gain durability from cement mixed with 0.03 to 0.05 percent dark resin from southern longleaf pine wood. Ice makers use carbon dioxide to cool five degrees lower, boosting output by 30 percent. Plastic rifle sheathes replace aluminum in packing houses using scrap airplane materials. Corn paint for camouflage, prepared as a dry powder mixed with water and ammonia. Neon indicators show circuit faults instantly, aiding rail and aircraft systems.
