Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a process for making a carbon nanomaterial fiber product and/or textile product. Such products may have new and/or enhanced properties as compared to similar products and, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is less expensive to make.
Claims22
A method for preparing a carbon nanomaterial (CNM)-containing fiber, the method comprising steps of:
- (a) receiving a carbanogel product that comprises:
- a network of a CNM product that comprises nanocarbon structures, wherein such nanocarbon structures are one or more:
- a spherical nanocarbon, a solid nano-onion, a hollow nano-onion, a first nanocarbon of a cylindrical allotrope, a second nanocarbon of a planar allotrope, a third nanocarbon of a helical allotrope, a carbon nanotube (CNT), a nanofiber, graphene, a nano-platelet, a nano-scaffold, a nano-tree, a nano-belt, a nano-flower, a nano-dragon, a nano-rod, a surface modified CNM, a metal coated CNM, and an amorphous nanocarbon, and
- an electrolyte that comprises a carbonate;
- (b) positioning the received carbanogel product in a vessel;
- (c) processing the carbanogel product into a CNM-containing fiber comprising at least a portion of the network of the CNM product dispersed therein, wherein the CNM-containing fiber is larger than individual structures within the nanocarbon structures;
- and
- (d) recovering the CNM-containing fiber.
