No limit yet for carbon nanotube fibers: Lab makes case for high-performance carbon nanotube fibers for industry – Science Daily
Researchers report advances in their quest to make the best carbon nanotube fibers for industry.
Carbon nanotube fibers made at Rice University are now stronger than Kevlar and are inching up on the conductivity of copper.The Rice lab of chemical and biomolecular engineer Matteo Pasquali reported in Carbon it has developed its strongest and most conductive fibers yet, made of long carbon nanotubes through a wet spinning process.
In the new study led by Rice graduate students Lauren Taylor and Oliver Dewey, the researchers noted that wet-spun carbon nanotube fibers, which could lead to brea…
