Stretchable polymeric fibers have significant impact, although their production requires rigorous environmental methods and resource consumption. The process is challenging for elastic polymers with ...

Carbon fibers are usually produced on an industrial scale from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The stabilization and carbonization of the fibers takes place with long dwell times in high-temperature furnaces ...

Spinning mills worldwide are looking for solutions that combine higher productivity, stable quality and shorter processes, especially when processing short fibers. Trützschler’s integrated draw frame ...

The new process, called gel electrospinning, is described in a paper by MIT professor of chemical engineering Gregory Rutledge and postdoc Jay Park. The paper appears online and will be published in ...

Carbon fiber is a critical material for industries such as aerospace and automotive, prized for its strength and lightweight properties. However, traditional carbon fiber production relies on costly, ...

Researchers developed regenerated cellulose fibers inspired by cherry bark’s helical architecture, using microfluidic ...

Despite their immense potential, the road to translating the superlative properties of individual carbon nanotubes into high-performance macroscopic fibers and yarns has been fraught with challenges.

Spinners generally see it as the safer option to start their recycling activities with post-industrial waste. These raw ...
