Fabricating high-performance synthetic fibers with laser irradiation

【Supercategory:2. Fiber manufacturing Category:2.1 Special fiber Subcategory:2.1.1 Nanofiber

写真
My primary goal is to create high-performance, high-function composite synthetic fibers by irradiating fibers with a carbon dioxide laser to heat them. I expect the resulting fibers to be used in applications such as medicine and optical materials, for example in the form of fiber that is 1/2,000th of the thickness of a human hair or fiber whose shape and composition can be precisely controlled.
