Lub tuam txhab tshiab TorTech Nano Fibers yuav pib tsim cov fibers raws cov pa roj carbon nanotubes hauv tebchaws Israel, uas yuav siv los txhim kho kev tiv thaiv ntawm cov cuab yeej tiv thaiv lub cev thiab ua cov cuab yeej siv rau cov tsheb tub rog. Qhov no yog ib qho ntawm thawj qhov piv txwv ntawm kev ua tiav loj ntawm kev cog lus tshiab thev naus laus zis thiab kev tsim khoom ntawm nanomaterials, uas muaj zog dua Kevlar thiab lwm cov ntaub npuag, tab sis tib lub sijhawm yoog raws thiab hnyav. TorTech Nano Fibers yog kev sib koom ua ke ntawm Plasan, lub tuam txhab ua tub rog Israeli, thiab University of Cambridge's Q-Flo. Raws li qhov kev pom zoo, Plasan yuav muaj kev tshwj xeeb muag thiab kev lag luam rau kev tiv thaiv cov cuab yeej tiv thaiv, thaum Q-Flo yuav khaws txoj cai rau lwm qhov muaj peev xwm siv cov khoom tshiab.
Plasan CEO Dan Ziv hais tias "Peb ntseeg cov pa roj carbon nanotubes yuav hloov pauv kev lag luam tiv thaiv nrog cov khoom siv hnyav tshiab, hloov pauv tau thiab muaj zog heev."
Kev tsim khoom loj ntawm cov cuab yeej tshiab tshiab, tiv taus ntev yog qhov xav tau zoo nyob rau hauv qhov pom ntawm kev ua tub rog tsis ntev, cov npe ntawm kev hem thiab kev nce nqi ntawm txhua tus tub rog. Cov pa roj carbon nanotubes yog ib qho ntawm cov ntaub ntawv cog lus uas tuaj yeem ua tau zoo txhim kho kev tiv thaiv cov cuab yeej. Piv txwv li, thaum Lub Yim Hli xyoo no, Lockheed Martin tau tshaj tawm txoj kev tshawb fawb raws li qhov sib ntxiv ntawm 1.5 - 5% carbon nanotubes rau cov cuab yeej siv phom tuaj yeem txhim kho kev tiv thaiv mos txwv los ntawm 20 - 50%. Qhov sib ntxiv ntawm cov pa roj carbon nanotubes rau cov polymer matrix thiab nws tom qab kev sib txuas mus rau hauv cov fibers ntawm aramid ntaub ua rau lub cev tiv thaiv phom tiv thaiv mos txwv. Ballistic "nanotechnology" cov khoom tuaj yeem muaj 40 txog 70% aramid fibers thiab 60 txog 30% resin (polymer matrix). Qhov siab los ntawm qhov hnyav ntawm nanotubes hauv cov txheej txheem polymer tuaj yeem yog li ntawm 1.5 txog 5%.
Ib qho piv txwv ntawm cov cuab yeej ua kom muaj zog ntxiv: 60% - aramid fibers ntawm Kevlar, 40% - impregnation (piv txwv li, polyurethane), uas muaj cov tshuaj nrog 1.5% nanotubes. Nanotubes tseem tuaj yeem suav nrog silicon lossis boron sib txuas. Qhov sib piv tuaj yeem sib txawv raws li qhov xav tau cov khoom siv thiab qib kev hem thawj.
