A UBC research team has developed a cleaner way to produce rayon, a popular fabric used in clothing for more than a century. The process could significantly reduce chemical use and improve ...

REFERENCE has frequently been made in these columns 1 to the progress of our knowledge concerning the structure of natural and artificial fibres during the last few years. The accompanying ...

Carbon fibers are polymers of carbon/graphite arranged in large sheets of hexagonal rings and confer several advantages such as high stiffness, high tensile strength, high chemical resistivity, high ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...
