Scientists create the ultimate fabric silk can cover Skyscraper (Figure)

 

Carbon fiber woven Building:

This is California architect Peter Testa designed 40-story skyscraper, the entire structure does not use steel, but use carbon fiber woven into a mesh with a cross made of its strength than steel many times higher. The internal structure of the building is completely open, only a closed lift shaft-like space. The figure shows the building model.

Now no longer simply refers to textile clothing, carpets or furniture package surface of the material, they can also be used in the life-saving medical devices, even inside the car driving fast. Scientists will use the most advanced textile technology to compile the kind of "ultimate fabric" to help patients recover.

This high-tech silk one day be made into life-saving medical equipment, track racing, and even skyscrapers are possible.
The weakness of the heart into a bag, so that the latter helps pump blood; battery-powered fleece jacket silk can be energized to help patients keep warm, this is the ultimate fabric. In addition, people can also use the mushroom-shaped woven carbon fiber car engine, or made into a bike frame or oars, etc.

New Age is not limited to early textiles clothing, blankets and other high-tech woven silk and they will be given a variety of new roles. U.S. textile engineering at Auburn University, said Peter Schwartz, in fact, has long been used in clothing and textiles for purposes other than the Romans had used Huangma fixed pavement.

Many people have never seen textiles, automobile tire rubber inner classes on the use of polyester fabric.
Experts pointed out that very few people know this, it is these fabrics to form the shape of the tire, the tire as a whole. Otherwise, car tires will immediately disperse, since the emergence since the pneumatic tire, the fabric has been used by the people, first of cotton, and later rayon, then in the nylon, but nylon exist "flat spot problem" when the parking period time has elapsed, that is pressed against the lower part of the car will harden, resulting in unstable vehicle until the tire heats up only after recovery. In the 1970s, polyester instead of nylon, and now the tires have been possible continuous driving 80,000 miles above it.

By a metal, carbon fiber and high-strength Kevlar thread and other new materials will further expand the use of the fabric, combined with chemical coating, they will also have additional features such as fire. Good energy absorption fabric can be used as belts, high strength steel wire can be used instead of the fabric. Scientists can also fine stainless steel silk into the rope, so that these can be conductive rope, the rope stretched will produce change in resistance, if the use of such changes produce a variety of alert sounds, can help scientists wear can be made warning intelligence cables.

Schwartz said:

"The new technology has brought us numerous surprises, all kinds of people have not seen the ultimate fabric will start to appear."
