Methods to Create, Disperse and Align Carbon Nanotube Fibers
Incorporationof carbon nanotubes in composites in improve various propertiesEliminates the existing issues with maximumallowable CNT loading in nanocompositesPotentialto manufacture fibers and sheets consisting of dense, pure, aligned, andultra-long CNTs with controlled structural organizationsProcessingis scalable, sustainable, and non-destructiveAllowsfor carbon nanotubes to retain their strength as they are processed, no fibershortening Improvementsin properties up to 5x with aligned nanotubes using this method compared torandom dispersion Stronginterfacial adhesion between different polymers and CNT fiber surfaces can beachieved by optimizing the pre- and post-treatments of carbon nanotube fibersStructuraland industrial applications
Aninnovative form of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers and hybrid mats that resolve majorissues with carbon nanotube integration in composites.
