  • Patent number: 9324472
    Abstract: Conductive metal and metallized fiber hybrid wires are disclosed, wherein such wires have a central member and a peripheral member and comprise at least one conductive metallized fiber. The peripheral member comprises (i) at least one conductive metal filament; and (ii) optionally, at least one conductive metallized fiber. The central member comprises (i) at least one non-metallized fiber; (ii) at least one conductive metallized fiber; (iii) at least one conductive metal filament; or (iv) combinations thereof.

  • Patent number: 8501278
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for treating the surfaces of individual filaments in multifilament yarn. The method includes the steps of immersing the yarn into a liquid treatment solution and coating all exposed surface areas of each individual filament with the treatment solution, disrupting the orientation of the individual filaments and coating all newly exposed surface areas of each individual filament with the treatment solution, and repeating the previous steps until a predetermined treatment level is achieved. A filament orientation disruption assembly may include at least one roller having a roller profile such that for a given transverse section of the roller, a roller surface perimeter has a plurality of points located a plurality of distinct distances from a central axis of the roller, i.e., a non-cylindrical roller. The method is particularly effective in plating highly anisotropic uniaxially oriented polymer fibers, such as PBO.
