Popis: This paper describes the characterization of carbon nanotube fabric or nanofabric. The nanofabric, has five fundamental properties: light weight, hydrophilic or hydrophobic, flame resistance, flexibility, and filterant. The nanofabric is formed by injecting a precursor aerosol into a high-temperature flow-through reactor. Nanofabric is collected on a drum from the exhuast. Hybrid nanofabric is synthesized by co-injection of a granulated carbon aerosol. Current fabrics used in firefighting might be supplemented with nanofabric or hybrid nanofabric to alleviate the dangers of airborne toxic chemicals and particles, along with assisting in heat management. The nanofabric survived longer in a flame test compared to traditional flame-resistant textiles.
