Support and Stability
Molded Fiberglass Grating Panels are equally strong in both directions

On large flumes with large pipe stubs, the danger can be even greater.  Here if an operators falls into the flume they could very well be swept out of the flume and into the downstream pipe system...a potentially fatal event.

The hard carbon aerogel can maintain the super-elasticity in harsh conditions, such as in liquid nitrogen. Based on the fascinating mechanical properties, this hard carbon aerogel has promise in the application of stress sensors with high stability and wide detective range (50 KPa), as well as stretchable or bendable conductors. This approach holds promise to be extended to make other non-carbon based composite nanofibers and provides a promising way of transforming rigid materials into elastic or flexible materials by designing the nanofibrous microstructures.
