Yarn spinning dynamics and fibre arrangement form the cornerstone of modern textile engineering, underpinning both the quality of yarn and its performance in downstream manufacturing. An understanding ...
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.
AeroLas GmbH (Munich, Germany) has developed a spinning process by which discontinuous filaments of carbon fiber can be combined with a thermoplastic fiber to create a yarn material that has potential ...
