Each strand is as soft as silk and as flexible as brain tissue itself. Free space makes up 95%of the mesh
In addition to those crops, cotton is one of the thirstiest crops a farmer can grow, especially in a desert.
Though cotton production has dropped steeply in California since 1995, California farmers have gotten $3 billion in federal subsidies to grow it.
The mesh is malleable,"soft as silk, "and spacious, allowing it to naturally incorporate into the brain
#Vehicle body made from cotton hemp and wood Carbon and glass fibers reinforce synthetics so that they can be used for vehicle body construction.
But in this regard there is an abundance of potential found in natural fibers obtained from hemp cotton or wood.
Variants derived from hemp flax cotton and wood are about as affordable as glass fibers and moreover have a lower density than the pendants made of glass or carbon.
While the tubing of the prototype, is made from clear acrylic, they will be manufactured from polymer-lined 5 mm-thick carbon fibre in the finished model.
and therefore distance at which optical signals can be sent through optical fibers. This advance has the potential to increase the data transmission rates for the fiber optic cables that serve as the backbone of the internet, cable wireless and landline networks.
#Nanotech transforms cotton fibers into modern marvel Marcia Silva da Pinto, postdoctoral researcher, works on growing metal organic frameworks onto cotton samples to create a filtration system capable of capturing toxic gas,
as Juan Hinestroza looks on. Juan Hinestroza and his students live in a cotton-soft nano world,
where they create clothing that kills bacteria, conducts electricity, wards off malaria, captures harmful gas and weaves transistors into shirts and dresses. otton is one of the most fascinating and misunderstood materials,
and that is our world we can control cellulose-based materials one atom at a time. he Hinestroza group has turned cotton fibers into electronic components such as transistors and thermistors,
and other components using cotton fibers brings a new perspective to the seamless integration of electronics
Taking advantage of cotton irregular topography, Hinestroza and his students added conformal coatings of gold nanoparticles,
as well as semiconductive and conductive polymers to tailor the behavior of natural cotton fibers. he layers were so thin that the flexibility of the cotton fibers is preserved always,
air filtration systems and even your clothes. bbey Liebman 0 created a dress using conductive cotton threads capable of charging an iphone.
Synthesizing nanoparticles and attaching them to cotton not only creates color on fiber surfaces without the use of dyes,
Hinestroza always looks for new ways to employ cotton as a canvas for creating infinite modern uses. e want to transform traditional natural fibers into true engineering materials that are multifunctional
ntil now we thought that spider silk was the strongest biological material because of its super-strength
