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

All it takes is a 405-nm laser, a 3D-printer or CNC router, and a roll of Kapton tape. As [Zach] explains, the laser energy converts the polyimide film used as the base material of Kapton into a ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
