Nanotechnology Now - Press Release: Polymer fibers with graphene nanotubes make it possible to heat hard-to-reach, complex-shaped items

Polymer fibers with graphene nanotubes combine the flexibility of synthetic fiber with very high electrical conductivity. The nanotubes can be added into melted polypropylene or polyamide to provide electrical conductivity. An ultrafine conductive fiber is used for fabric or mesh that can then be integrated into a polymer system. Such electrically conductive heating fibers are required in the medical, agricultural, construction, oil and gas, textile, automotive, and aerospace industries.
