Alignment of carbon and other man-made fibers by magnetic fields

High-modulus carbon fibers in liquid suspension are aligned precisely by magnetic fields. Other man-made fibers can also be aligned after coating with iron. This response has many applications in light-scattering experiments and in the preparation of composites. Thin films of aligned fibers offer ad...

Description
Summary:High-modulus carbon fibers in liquid suspension are aligned precisely by magnetic fields. Other man-made fibers can also be aligned after coating with iron. This response has many applications in light-scattering experiments and in the preparation of composites. Thin films of aligned fibers offer advantages in determinations of diameter and length distributions and in other types of examination.
