We have produced the world’s first 700 nm, ultra-fine polyester nanofiber via continuous research and development using state-of-the-art nanotechnology. The proposed sea/island composite-spinning ...
Fishing nets are mainly made from chemical fibers such as nylon and polyester to prevent rot as well as to ensure excellent strength and easy maintenance. Whereas common nylon fishing nets are ...
A schematic of the overall process by which PANI manufactures composite fibers: (from left to right) forming a liquid crystal phase based on carbon nanotubes, spinning it into a coagulation bath, ...
The structural properties of composite materials are derived primarily from the fiber reinforcement. In a composite, the fiber, held in place by the matrix resin, contributes tensile strength, ...
In a significant step toward creating a sustainable and circular economy, Rice University researchers have published a study ...
Jackets have become surprisingly high-tech, using everything from hydrophobic polyester to next-gen synthetic down—but few jackets weave in actual tech used to fight the elements on other planets.
Since Roger Bacon discovered “graphite whiskers” in 1958 at Union Carbide’s Parma Technical Center (now GrafTech International), carbon fibers have been used in high performance applications from ...
