ORNL carbon nanofibers yield fiber-matrix interfacial bond improvement Through a novel electrospinning technique, researchers have effectively achieved a “bridge” between carbon fiber and its matrix, ...

The polyacrylonitrile is extruded through a strong electric field to produce strands about 200 nanometers wide, or one-hundredth the width of a typical human hair. The strands land on a spinning metal ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking new method of producing carbon fiber while drastically reducing its energy footprint.

The paper comprises a study of dielectric characteristics at conductive polymers. Oxidative polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) initiated by Ce (IV) - oxalic ac ...
