Broadband Supercontinuum Generation in PCF, HNLF and ZBLAN Fiber with a Carbon-Nanotube-based Passively Mode-locked Erbium-doped Fiber Laser [PDF]
We demonstrate the broadband supercontinuum (SC) generation in photonic crystal fiber (PCF), highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) and ZBLAN (ZrF4-BaF2-LaF3-AlF3-NaF) fiber with a passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL). The passively mode-locked EDFL incorporates a CNT-based saturable absorber and has achieved a pulse width of 620 fs with a ...

Structural performance of steel-concrete sandwich beams with carbon nanofiber reinforcement [PDF]
Cementitious materials such as concrete are typically characterised as quasi-brittle with low tensile strength and low strain capacity, which hence affect the long-term durability of the structure.

Mechanical behavior of entangled fibers and entangled cross-linked fibers during compression [PDF]
Entangled fibrous materials have been manufactured from different fibers: metallic fibers, glass fibers, and carbon fibers. Specimens have been produced with and without cross links between fibers. Cross-links have been achieved using epoxy spraying. The

Lignin is an interesting renewable resource for carbon fibers. In this work we investigate the usage of unpurified softwood kraft lignin Indulin AT for melt-spinning of lignin-fibers and the properties of resulting lignin and carbon fibers. Indulin AT is

Processing of carbon-fiber-reinforced Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 bulk metallic glass composites [PDF]
Carbon-fiber-reinforced bulk metallic glass composites are produced by infiltrating liquid Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 into carbon fiber bundles with diameter of the individual fiber of 5 mum.

Strong Fiber from Uniaxial Fullerene Supramolecules Aligned with Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
Carbon nanotube (CNT) wires approach copper's specific conductivity and surpass carbon fiber's strength, with further improvement anticipated with greater aspect ratios and incorporation of dopants with long-range structural order. Fullerenes assemble into multitudes of process-dependent supramolecular crystals and, while initially insulating, they ...

Alcohol decomposition on basic/acid lignin-derived submicron diameter carbon fibers [PDF]
The use of lignin, the second most abundant polymer in nature, along with a simple and versatile technique, electrospinning, represents an advantageous and promising approach for the preparation of carbon fibers.
