Very Stretch Plastic Thanks to Nanotechnology
Filed in archive Research on May 31, 2008

How much can you stretch plastic? Researchers in China are working on super-stretch fibers by electrospinning polyoxymethylene. By using this process, the resulting plastic mats may be 10 times more stretchable. Can you imagine that? Plastic that can stretch beyond your imagination without breaking could be used in so many different things. According to the Chinese researchers, this fiber may be used in various applications including: optoelectronics, sensor technology, catalysis, filtration, and medicine. The fibers will have high porosity and high surface area. Read about the research (American Chemical Society publications) here.
