$3M Award Supports Production of New Multi-tasking Fuzzy Fiber Nanomaterial; Energy Applications

Green Car Congress

This means we can produce the material at a low cost, and it also means we can produce pieces big enough to cover an aircraft. After successfully controlling growth of carbon nanotubes on individual carbon fibers, researchers accomplished the same on a type of carbon-fiber yarn and eventually on engineered textiles.
