We have prepared electrospun Nylon-6 nanofibers via electrospinning, and adsorbed multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto the surface of Nylon-6 fibers using Triton(®) X-100 to form a MWCNTs/Nylon-6 nanofiber composite. The dispersed MWCNTs have been found to be stable in hexafluoroisopropanol for several months without precipitation. A MWCNTs/Nylon-6 nanofiber composite based chemical sens...

To advance ecological civilization, developing sustainable, eco-friendly high-strength and ultra-tough alternatives to non-sustainable synthetic fibers, such as nylon, is crucial. This necessitates a deeply scientific understanding of the fundamental determinants fiber strength toughness, well overcoming engineering challenges for cost-effective, large-scale production high-performance silk fib...

Abstract The study presents the crack mouth opening and propagation of cracks in a composite material printed by extrusion subjected to monotonic loading. is made out nylon matrix (with embedded short carbon fiber—called Onyx ® ) reinforced with continuous Kevlar fibers. Three-point bending tests were performed on notched specimens built according ASTM-E399. Tests digitally recorded extract dis...
