Inspired by the flexibility and rigidity of natural spider silks webs, a research team led by Prof. YU Shuhong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) developed a simple and general method to fabricate superelastic and fatigue resistant hard carbon aerogels with nanofibrous network structure by using resorcinol-formaldehyde resin as a hard carbon source.
Its lightweight characteristic simplifies installation and maintenance, while its strength withstands the constant agitation and pressure exerted during the aeration process Its lightweight characteristic simplifies installation and maintenance, while its strength withstands the constant agitation and pressure exerted during the aeration processsewage treatment fiberglass. Additionally, it is employed in the construction of biofilters, where bacteria further purify the water by consuming dissolved pollutants.
