However, the methods typically used to build carbon nanotube sensors are hazardous and not suited for large-scale production. A new fabrication method created by MIT chemists — as simple as drawing a ...

Expect a yard of plain-weave carbon to run about $60. Call 800.330.6365, FibreGlast.com. Fiber Carbon comes in many patterns for various uses. The most common are plain-weave and twill.

The construction principle of the fiber is quite simple. An ordered array of carbon nanotubes was continuously wrapped around a polymeric core. Carbon nanotubes are well known to be electroactive ...
