Carbon nanotubes as threads for smart fabrics - UC and Wright-Patterson US Air Force

-
Happy Tuesday morning everyone! 😁Admin loves to share recent happenings in local and overseas as there are plenty of discoveries from university-industry collaboration! (Interesting and mind blowing !)🤣

Let's take a look at the collaboration between the University of Cincinatti and

Wright-Patterson US Air Force. They see the potential to develop strong and electrically conductive materials that can enhance the apparel of military personnel - using carbon nanotubes as threads for smart fabrics! 😲😲😲

Admin did some searches about nanotubes. 🤔Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Owing to the material's exceptional strength and stiffness, nanotubes have been constructed with length-to-diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000:1, significantly larger than for any other material. What's more, nanotubes has extraordinary thermal conductivity, mechanical, and electrical properties!🤔Wow!

An article about the new term, Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), is now buzzing. We often hear it in the news and many industrial and government organisations are now reviewing whether they are I.R 4.0 ready. IR 4.0 relates to the paradigm that machines are now able to autonomously adapt and coordinate their tasks to meet human needs. This is achieved through the Cyber Physical System (CPS), also called Industry 4.0, Advance Management Program, Internet of Things (IoT) or Industrial Internet. This new paradigm marks the industrial era called Industrial Revolution 4.0 coined by Klaus Schwab in 2016. An informative read for employees, industry professionals and high achieving students. http://www.thestar.com.my/opinion/letters/2017/08/07/get-set-for-next-industrial-revolution/
