Naturally occurring fibers, such as cotton, flax, silk, and wool have been utilized by mankind for millennia. The silk gauze gown of Han-dynasty found in 1972 by archaeological discovery in Mawangdui Han Tomb weighs only 49 grams. It demonstrates the advanced silkworm cultivation, harvesting and...

PHBV fibers are biocompatible and biodegradable, which make them ideal materials for making medical textiles. Currently, the China-based Tianan is the largest PHBV supplier. However, PHBV fibers have several limitations such as brittleness, poor thermal stability, and being difficult to process. Curren...
make soft robots sustainable. The ferromagnetic fibers based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/NdFeB hybrid particles are extruded by an extruder. We use a desktop three-dimensional (3D) printer to demonstrate the feasibility of printing two-dimensional (2D) and complex 3D soft robots. These ...
I made 4 colours using super bright trilobal nylon to make some squares. The nylon is on both sides. Again I felted them most of the way and they will need to be felted a bit more to seal up the edges. after cutting them out I had little shards of sparkly nylon all over. I ...
Sign In The inherent advantages of Spectra® fibers - such as high strength-to-weight ratios, durability, and overall versatility - have led to their adoption in a wide range of applications. Talk to an expert All Performance, no compromise. Spectra® fiber is an ultra-high molecular weigh...
its periodic arrangement can make the cathode phase acidified and the anode phase alkalized, which can improve the electro-catalytic efficiency [94]. ORR comprises three stages: (1) gas—oxygen-electron acceptor, (2) liquid—electrolyte-reaction medium, and (3) solid electrode—electron donor.Thus...
Artificial spider silk has emerged as a biobased fiber that could replace some petroleum-based materials that are on the market today. Recent progress made it possible to produce the recombinant spider silk protein NT2RepCT at levels that would make the
