Abstract: The PTFE real twist yarn of the present invention is a PTFE real twist yarn obtained by twisting a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) multi-filament slit yarn. The yarn has a circular cross-section with a circularity in the range of 10/8 to 10/10, where the circularity is expressed by the ratio between the major axis width and the minor axis width, the average fineness of filaments is in the range of 1.5 to 200 dtex, a fineness D is in the range of 50 to 6000 dtex, and a twist coefficient K expressed by Formula (1) is in the range of 10000 to 35000: twist coefficient K=number of twists T×(the fineness D of the PTFE real twist yarn)1/2??(1) where the number of twists T denotes the number of twists per meter and the fineness D is a total fineness.

Abstract: A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiber includes a filament obtained by partially slitting an oriented PTFE film in a lengthwise direction of the film. Emboss processing is conducted linearly along the lengthwise direction of the film and like a zigzag shape or a convexo-concave shape in a width direction of the film, followed by slitting, whereby the filament includes a network structure in which single fibrils that are opened partially are arranged regularly. A PTFE short fiber is obtained by cutting the above filament and includes a branch structure. Thereby, a PTFE fiber with a small average fineness of single fibrils, a uniform fineness and a single-peak distribution with the peak at a center of fineness and with a high production yield and uniform and stable branch structure can be provided and a method for manufacturing the PTFE fiber can be provided.

Abstract: A membrane treating or forming method includes a membrane having two opposite surfaces and a number of perforations formed in the membrane, an area closer to one of the surfaces of the membrane is cooled with such as a cool device, and an area closer to the other surface of the membrane is heated in order to distort and deform the perforations of the membrane and for forming uneven or distorted or deformed perforations in the membrane and thus for preventing the perforations of the membrane from being blocked by dirt or particles. A cold device is disposed in and spaced away from the heat device for forming an inner peripheral space between the heat device and the cold device and for receiving the membrane.

Abstract: A porous filter device is made or formed from a porous membrane which is disposed on a rod and has two edges dependent downwardly from the rod, and the edges of the porous membrane will then be hot-pressed together with such as ultrasonic or hypersonic waves, or high frequency waves or the like to easily and quickly form a tubular or cylindrical and porous filter device. The welded edges of the porous membrane may then be cut and removed from the porous filter device when the porous filter device is supported on the rod or after the porous filter device is removed from the rod.

Abstract: A PTFE fiber with a low density and having a network structure that allows effective performances to be given to its finished articles and a method for manufacturing the PTFE fiber are provided. The PTFE fiber is a filament obtained by giving a heat treatment to a biaxially stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film, followed by slitting partially in a lengthwise direction of the film. The filament includes a network structured fiber in which single fibers are opened partially in the width direction, and the filament is an aggregate of the single fibers. This fiber is manufactured as the filament by feeding a biaxially stretched PTFE film to a revolving pin roll with needles implanted thereon, the needles being arranged so that a plurality of rows run obliquely along a circumferential direction at substantially regular intervals, and slitting the film partially in a lengthwise direction. This PTFE filament may be cut into short fibers with a cutter. The short fibers include a branch structure.

Abstract: A nanomaterial processing system is constructed to include a compressor adapted to compress a flow of air/liquid into a high-pressure flow of air/liquid, a material feeder adapted to feed a material into the high-pressure flow of air/liquid passing out of the compressor, enabling the fed material to be mixed with the high-pressure flow of air/liquid into a high-pressure material flow; a shunt collider adapted to shunt the high-pressure material flow into two sub-flows and to let the shunt sub-flows to collide into a collided material flow, and a high-speed cutting unit, which uses a diamond coating-coated cutting wheel to cut solid substances the collided material flow.

Abstract: A detecting method can perform the drop test according to the exact grounding condition, thereby detecting the actual grounding data. In addition, the shock accelerometer on the tested point of the test object can obtain an experimented G value which is compared with the simulated G value that is obtained by inputting the grounding angles (the grounding angles are calculated according to the grounding pictures) into the simulation program. In addition, the drop test device can reduce interruption, thereby enhancing the whole detecting accuracy.
