Melt processed fibers can have fiber diameters ranging from 100 micrometers to 100s of nanometers depending on the type of process used. Over the past 5 years, a significant amount of work has been published in the open literature that deals with nanofibers that are in the 1-2000 nanometer ...

Fiber-reinforced composites with improved mechanical properties useful in a range of transparent applications such as impact-resistant windshields and faceshields.

To manufacture a transparent fiber-matrix composite with large diameter fibers (greater than ~1 micron), the refractive indices of the constituents must be very well matched (i.e. within 0.001). However, constituent refractive ...

The technology is artificial muscle designed to be functional and replace lost muscle while allowing new muscle to regenerate. This nanofiber can be placed in to intricate scaffolds for the muscle replacement. These scaffolds can be designed to have the same shape as real muscle while contracting like ...

This is the first report of the gas-transport properties of SWNT membranes using the functionalized SWNT and commercial polymer. We have demonstrated a simple, fast, commercially attractive and scalable filtration method to prepare an oriented CNT membrane with large surface area. The gas transport of the SWNT exceeded ...

Nonwoven fibrous membranes were fabricated by electrospinning lecithin solutions in a single process step. As the concentration of lecithin increased, the micellar morphology evolved from spherical to cylindrical, and at higher concentrations the cylindrical micelles overlapped and entangled in a fashion similar to polymers in the semi- dilute or ...
