Imagine a thread. Easy, right? Now imagine a thread that is 10x stronger than steel, a couple atoms wide, flexible, and is able to repel water. What you’ve just imagined is a nanofiber. Nanofibers are things of the future. Their applications, their look, even the name “nanofiber” has a futuristic ring to it. It’s no wonder nanofibers and nanotechnologies in general are a scientific hot topic. Nanofibers have the potential to be incredibly influential in almost every area of science. In the field of aerospace, nanofibers could be used for ultra-strong, light wires. They act as excellent filters, and could be woven into a military suit to protect our troops from dangerous chemicals. You can store hydrogen inside of graphite nanofibers, producing an excellent fuel cell. For nanofibers, the sky’s the limit. If you would like to learn more about nanofibers, please feel free to explore our site. We have supplied text and graphics to help you better understand the concept of these tiny strands. So take a look and see what nanofibers can really do.
