AxNano, LLC, in collaboration with the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering of North Carolina A&T State University, has developed a novel method for producing robust, high-volume, cost-effective carbon fibers in support of next-generation materials for structural composites. The advanced, high-throughput process yields yarns of bundled nanofibers and is designed to achieve greater structural perfection needed for leaps in mechanical strength and stability of carbon fibers. This project supports future innovative nanomaterial-based polymeric composites that have the potential to supplant conventional carbon fiber reinforced polymeric (CFRP) composites with applications in commercial space travel, air travel/cargo, and passenger vehicles/ground shipping industries.
