| Abstract | Non-technical Summary: Supported through the Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program within the Division of Materials Research, the principal investigators and their research groups investigate the scientific foundation required for developing strong fibers and nanofibers, which are predominantly made of carbon and can surpass the load bearing capacity of existing fibers. The fibers are prepared via extreme heating of polymers in a process referred to as pyrolysis or carbonization. The resea |
