Role of Carbon Nanofiber in 3D Printing

What is 3D Printing? 3D printing is based on a process of making three dimensional solid objects using computers. The object is created by interlaced layers of material such as liquid molecules or powder grains. Compared to traditional ways of manufacturing, 3D printing enables production of complex shaped goods using less material. Due to the precision, repeatability and wide range of supplies,  3D printing is defined  as an industrial production technology, which is also called  additive manufacturing . Additive manufacturing requires CAD  (computer aided design) software or 3D object scanners to deposit material in precise geometric shapes. Each successive layer bonds to the preceding layer formed from melted or partially melted material -like metal powder, thermoplastics, ceramics, glass and even chocolate-. As all the materials cool, they fuse together to form a three dimensional object.  That’s how additive manufacturing works , basically. Car...

Carbon Nanofibers and Their Applications

Carbon nanofibers are cylindrical nanostructures with graphene layers arranged as stacked cones, cups or plates.  Carbon NanoFibers (Purity 96%, Outside Diameter: 190-590nm)  could be defined as sp 2 -based linear filaments with diameter of ca. 100 nm that are characterized by flexibility and their aspect ratio. Materials in a form of fiber are of great practical and scientific importance. The combination of high specific area, flexibility, and high mechanical strength allow nanofibers to be used in our daily life as well as in fabricating tough composites for vehicles and aerospace. As we mentioned  Carbon NanoFibers  can be used in various areas. Now let's check some examples of these areas. For example their remarkable properties, combined with the unique low temperature deterministic growth process makes carbon nanofibers very suitable for semiconductor packaging applications as well as building advanced capacitors. Due to their metallic nature carbon nanofi...
