And its adhesive properties were the same when tested on very different surfaces, including glass plates, polymer films, and rough sandpaper. The adhesive force of these nanotube arrays is about 100 newtons per square centimeter-enough for a four-by-four-millimeter square of the material to hold up a 1,480-gram textbook. Grew arrays of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes topped with an unaligned layer of nanotubes, like rows of trees with branching tops. The new glue, described in an article in Science, uses specially aligned carbon nanotubes that mimic the design of those tiny gecko hairs. When these tips come into close contact with a surface they induce strong van der Waals forces that keep the foot anchored - that is, until the gecko decides to peel it off. Look close enough at a gecko foot and you will see an ordered, forest-like structure - roughly half a million fine hairs that each sprout into hundreds of even thinner, spatula-shaped tips. The gecko owes its gravity-defying capacity to tiny structures that make use of the atomic-scale attractive van der Waals force.
They say the new glue is three times stronger than previous gecko-inspired glues, and ten times stickier than the lizards themselves. Researchers have developed a nanotech superglue modeled on the minute structures on gecko feet that allow the lizards to scamper up sheer surfaces. Genuine 50-yard casts are now available if your acting ability is up to it and we continue to develop and explore new boundaries to achieve and exceed the performance of any previous fly lines.Would-be superheros have a cause for celebration, as the ability to walk up walls just got a little closer. The new Competition Long Cast fly line is another testament to the smoothness and finish of the XS Nano fly lines. Always looking for continuous improvement, we continue to carry out tests on even more advanced Nano Technology and core construction, set to keep Snowbee fly lines at the highest level, smoother and more advanced than ever before. We have not stopped at Nano Coating Technology either. The results and general feedback have been outstanding and combined with profiles, our bespoke material, and crucial designs, the new technology has enhanced even the best of any previous performance we have enjoyed for years before. Not visible to the naked eye, the results when magnified many times, clearly illustrate the improvements and all XS fly lines are now made using the new Nano Coating Technology. The electron microscope images here, emphasize the vast improvements of the new technology over the old. So whether sinking or floating, the XS fly lines now have a finer, more durable, silky-finish profile which means they not only cast better as they cut cleaner through the air but they fish and last longer too, exceeding even the legendary performance of the original XS lines.
The smaller nano particles result in a silky smooth slick surface finish and a more dense material. New Nano Coating Technology (NCT) has enabled us to produce the softest, most supple, best casting and longest lasting fly lines in our history.
