Question:

Three fabrics that will soak up oil.?

For my science project I'm gonna see which fabric soaks up oil the best (because of the huge BP oil spill) Which 3 fabrics should I use? Thanks!! (:

Answer:

If your dog fur I not really thick just soo soo just give your dog a thin blanket to cover it dog will like things like that also keep him occupied to get heat from his body :) necause when we move or exercise our body will heaten up :) it's same to dog too
Cover him up, if he does not want to stay covered then he will get out from under them
I'd not put a coat ON him, but give him extra bedding so he can burrow into it The problem with coating dogs is unlike us, as you've said, they can't take layers off like we can Just see how he seems - and pray your heating comes on soon!! What kind of temperatures are we talking about though? Can you borrow an electric heater in the meantime? For you as much as for your dog!!
She should be fineI have two Shih Tzus' with long hair (often it is short though) who manage just fine in up to minus 10 weatherYour cross should be fine is less than desirable temperatures - that is what fur is forHe could actually run the risk of over heating, where as being a little chilly isn't going to harm him Consider getting a heater for yourself.
Some things to think about: fibers are the basis of fabricfibers include things like cotton, linen, wool, silk, nylon, polyester, rayon, etcFabrics are made by various methods from yarns made of fibersso you could have cotton broadcloth, linen broadcloth, wool broadcloth, silk broadclothor cotton jersey, wool jersey, silk jerseyIs your project to see which fibers absorb best? Or which fabrics absorb best? You're really talking about two different concepts hereWill closely woven or knit fabrics do better than loosely woven or knit fabrics? Can you recover the oil from the fabrics and use the fabric to sop up more oil? Or is the oil pretty well stuck to the fabric? Does what you wash your fabric in make a difference? Whether or not you use fabric softener? Whether the fabric is just off the bolt or prewashed? All of these are variables that you're going to want to control to produce good answersThe more time you spend thinking about controlling all of the variables except the one(s) you want to test, the stronger your project will be.
