Can you make a supercapacitor from kapton tape? Yep! Using a laser, we can decompose the Kapton (polyimide) into a graphene ...

Kapton tape resists heat, making it perfect for this process. We’ve also seen it used on hot beds for 3D printers, and as a smoothing surface for sliding mechanisms.

“That’s no big deal as long as it works. Grey tape would’ve taken five minutes, and using Kapton meant the task took 40 minutes. We need to get a handle on the anal-retentive engineering ...

Gaffer tape is not an all-purpose item (no tool is). But it comes closer to being an all-purpose tape than most other kinds. Here are some other varieties you’ll likely find useful: ...

Duct and Kapton tapes have also been key in emergencies while in space. In April 1970, grey tape was one of the tools needed to construct a makeshift carbon dioxide air scrubber for the stranded ...

Kapton tape used to seal leak on International Space Station. The hole had been causing air to leak from the station. Aug. 31, 2018, 10:53 AM EDT. By David Freeman.

The NASA equivalent of duct tape could leak enough methane to confuse the next Mars rover’s life-detecting sensors. Astrobiologists found evidence for three distinct plumes of methane flowing ...

Before the HUNCH dispenser, the duct tape rolls and Kapton high-temperature tape were just stuck to the edge of work areas or on handrails and other places within reach. Advertisement.
