The utilization of materials for the preparation of fibers and textiles began at the beginning of civilization and extended until the 20th centruy when steam driven machinery revolutionized the mechanical operations of spinning and weaving. Carbon fibers were first produced by Edison in the late 19th century; Edison found that regenerated cellulose (rayon) could be converted into carbon fila­ments for use in incandescent lamps. Electrospinning was first patented in 1902; electrospinning is a fiber spinning technique that relies on electrostatic forces to produce fibers in the nanometer to micron diameter range. The electrsopinning process of fiber production is examined in regards to the preparation of continuous Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers with the purpose of preparing carbon nanofibers for the reinforcement of thin films and nano­composites. The mechanical properties and reinforcing behavior of nanofibers are expected to differ significantly from their conventional counterparts; the strength of a carbon filament increases as the diameter decreases.The research should be especially useful to beginning and experienced researchers in the the field of nanomaterials.

    While the great scientists of the past recognized a need for a multidisciplinary approach, today’s schools often treat math and science as subjects separate from the rest. This not only creates a disinterest among students, but also a potential learning gap once students reach college and then graduate into the workforce.

    University of Texas at Austin My friendship with Freeman Dyson goes back over a half century. My first contact with him goes back to the late 1950s, when I was at the Institute for Advanced Study, and then evolved when I was a consultant at General Atomics in La Jolla, California. Freeman was then trying to design a space ship — the Orion — which would be propelled by atomic bo...
