TechPak Process for producing fiber aggregate A process for producing fiber aggregate which comprises the steps of coating a conductive material which is insoluble in a dielectric fluid on the surface of fibers; dispersing the fibers into the dielectric fluid to obtain a fiber suspended fluid; introducing the fiber suspended fluid into an electric field which is generated in a space between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, whereby causing individual fibers to electrostatically and one-dimensionally orient; and aggregating the oriented fibers. The conductive material contributes to charge-transfer, and it causes the fibers in the electric filed to orient stably. Patent Information Number US 5298203 Country US Status Issued Date 03/29/1994

Ready To Ware Electronics and fabrics woven together will make smart dressers of firefighters, football players, and fashionistas alike By Diana Marculescu, Radu Marculescu, Sungmee Park & Sundaresan Jayaraman IEEE Spectrum With cellphones hanging off shoulder bag straps, pagers hooked to our belts, digital cameras dangling from our necks, PDAs bulging in our pockets, and MP3 players clipped to our shirts, we're all beginning to look like electrogadget pack mules. We have a more versati ...

Smart Fatigues Hear Enemy Coming Katie Dean 02:00 AM Oct. 22, 2002 PT Call it a security blanket for soldiers: GIs may someday march into battle armed with a swatch of fabric rather than bulky electronics. Computer scientists and textile experts are working together to weave fabric with electronics that can assist the military in sound detection and other useful applications. Researchers at the University of Southern California and Virginia Tech have developed a fabric woven with conducti ...
