  • Patent number: 8999212
    Abstract: A graphene ribbon fiber manufacturing process, where a coagulation medium flows in the same direction as the graphene ribbon fibers. The process for spinning graphene ribbon fibers starts with unzipping carbon nanotubes to form graphene ribbons, purifying and drying the graphene ribbons and subsequent dissolving of the graphene ribbons in a suitable solvent, preferably a super acid to form a spin-dope. The spin-dope is spun such that the accrued fibers are guided into a coagulation medium, also known as anti-solvent, where the spun or accrued fibers are coagulated. The coagulated graphene ribbon fibers are stripped, neutralized and washed and wound on bobbins.

  • Patent number: 8871124
    Abstract: A method for producing a filament yarn from a para-aromatic polyamide, having an optically anisotropic aramid spinning solution filtered within a spinneret arrangement by using a filter having passage openings and extruded within the spinneret arrangement through a plurality of spinning orifices. The extruded anisotropic aramid spinning solution is guided via an air gap, stretched in the process, and collected in an aqueous coagulation bath. The optically anisotropic aramid spinning solution in the spinneret arrangement is fed to the spinning orifices via a flow resistor. The flow resistor is arranged closer to the spinning orifices than the filter, and the flow resistor and the filter are arranged at a distance to one another. The method may also include a para-aromatic polyamide filament yarn.
