Breakthrough in industrial-scale processing of carbon nanotubes.(Fibres)
Jan 01, 2010 ... Scientists at Rice University and their partners claim to have discovered a method for the industrial-scale processing of pure carbon nanotube fibres that they believe could lead to revolutionary advances in materials science, power distribution and nanoelectronics. One of the ...
Laser method creates long boron nitride nanotubes.(Fibres)
Jan 01, 2010 ... A laser-based method for creating long boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) has been developed by researchers in the USA. Moreover, the BNNTs can be used to produce a macroscopic yarn that could be used in a wide range of applications, from radiation shields on spacecraft to stronger body ...
Fine extrusion of cellulose.(Fibres)
Jan 01, 2010 ... A group of inventors based in the USA say they have developed an apparatus capable of economically extruding cellulose fibres with small diameters. Douglas Brown of Freemont, Wisconsin, and his colleagues say their apparatus can extrude and form cellulose fibres: * ...
Inorganic additives strengthen electrospun fibres.(Nonwovens)
Jan 01, 2010 ... A method of electrospinning nanofibres that are strengthened by the addition of inorganic additives is described in European Patent EP 2 108 718. Applicant Japan Vilene Co of Tokyo, Japan, adds that the inorganic additives can also be used to impart functionalities to the fibres ...
Cohesive webs of electrospun fibres.(Nonwovens)
Jan 01, 2010 ... Researchers in the USA have proposed a way for making webs of electrospun fibres more cohesive. A problem with conventional electrospinning is that the resulting fibres all have the same electrical polarity and so repel one another when they coalesce in a web at the collection ...
