2. Monomolecular wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomolecular_wire

   An early example of a material similar to monomolecular wire deliberately used as a weapon and cutting tool is "borazon-tungsten filament" in G. Randall Garrett's "Thin Edge". (Analog, Dec 1963) [4] The main character uses a strand from an asteroid towing-cable to cut jail bars and to booby-trap the door of his room.

3. Boron fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boron_fiber

   Boron fiber is a primary reinforcement constituent in Hy-Bor, a prepreg blend of boron fiber and carbon fiber primarily used for high-performance aerospace and sporting goods applications. In the production process, elemental boron is deposited on an even tungsten wire substrate which produces diameters of 4.0 mil (102 micron) and 5.6 mil (142 ...

4. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

   Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers (0.00020–0.00039 in) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. [1] Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high ...

5. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-fiber_reinforced...

   The fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics is governed by the mechanisms: 1) debonding between the carbon fiber and polymer matrix, 2) fiber pull-out, and 3) delamination between the CFRP sheets. [8] Typical epoxy-based CFRPs exhibit virtually no plasticity, with less than 0.5% strain to failure.

6. Tow (fibre) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_(fibre)

   In the artificial fibre and composites industries, a tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments, in particular of acrylic, carbon fibres, or viscose rayon. Tows are designated either by their total tex (mass in grams per 1000 m length) [3] or by the number of fibres they contain. [4] [5] For example, a 12K tow contains 12,000 fibres. [6 ...

7. 3D printing filament - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_filament

   The diameter of the filament is defined by the process that takes place after the plastic has been heated rather than the diameter of the extruder nozzle. A different force and speed is applied to the filament as it is pulled out of the extruder to define the width of the filament, most commonly 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm diameter. [5] [6]
