Abstract: A method for a fiber bundle, including a heating process of Joule-heating the fiber bundle by energization between at least a pair of electrodes. The fiber bundle is carried in contact with the electrodes and has electrical conductivity at least between the electrodes. At least one of the electrodes has an aggregating structure that aggregates the fiber bundle while being in contact with the outer surface of fiber bundle. The aggregating structure has a trench or cylindrical shape with a structural surface that narrows in the depth direction. When the electrodes are each composed of a rotating body, the aggregating structure is a trench provided on the outer surface of the rotating body. The trench has a bottom surface that narrows toward a rotation center side. The trench may have a widened portion on the outer peripheral edge side. The widened portion guides the fiber bundle to the bottom surface.

Abstract: A nanocomposite comprises a nanostructure, and a copolymer adsorbed to the nanostructure and containing at least one ionic monomer unit and a different monomer unit from the ionic monomer unit; the ionic monomer unit selected from the group consisting of a zwitterionic monomer unit and a cationic monomer unit which are represented by the following formula (1): (in the formula (1), R1, R2, and R3 each independently represent any one of a hydrogen atom and a monovalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, Y1 represents any one of a carbonyl group and an arylene group, Y2 represents any one of —O— and —NH—, n is 0 or 1, R4 represents a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and X represents any one of a zwitterionic group and a cationic group).
