1. Use a maul or splitting wedges to split hardwood. A splitting maul is essentially a thicker, more wedge-shaped axe made for splitting hardwood along the grain, with a blunt sledge-hammer edge on the back of the splitting blade.
Carbon fibre is a material that is made from very thin fibres having carbon atoms. These are bonded together in microscopic crystals, aligned parallel to the long axis of the fibre. It is this crystal alignment that makes carbon fibre so strong. Carbon fibre is used to make composite materials with plastics resins.
Versus the nanotubeâs neatly organized, tightly bonded configuration, carbon fiber is what quantum chemists call turboÂ­stratic, meaning flat layers, each one a single carbon atom thick, stacked somewhat haphazardly on top of one another. The carbon nanotubeâs superior atomic-bonded crystal structure is what makes it the strongest, stiffest material known to man and nearly 20 times stronger per pound than carbon fiber. Carbon Fiber: In comparison to a nanotube, carbon fiberâs turbostratic structure is messier and weaker.
