Provided in one implementation is a method that includes introducing a volume of raw material into a chamber of a cavitation machine. The raw material can include a mixture comprising a powder and a solvent. The powder can have a first average particle size in the raw material. The method includes applying a hydrodynamic cavitation process to the raw material to produce a product material. The powder can have a second average particle size, smaller than the first average particle size, in the product material. The method includes causing the product material to exit the cavitation chamber and drying the product material to remove the solvent. Apparatus employed to apply the method are also provided.

Provided is a method of producing a carbon fiber, the method including: a) adding an acrylonitrile-based polymer solution to a solution containing a glycol-based compound having a boiling point of 180 to 210° C. to precipitate an acrylonitrile-based polymer; b) melt spinning the acrylonitrile-based polymer to obtain a spun fiber; and c) performing stabilization and carbonization on the spun fiber to obtain a carbon fiber.

A method of preparing a nanocomposite fiber comprising suspending carbon powder comprising graphene flakes in a carrier fluid. A solid polymer material is added to the carrier fluid having the carbon powder suspended therein to create a mixture. The mixture is heated and the solid polymer material is at least partially dissolved within the carrier fluid having the carbon powder suspended therein. The carrier fluid is removed from the mixture, forming the polymer into a fiber carrying the graphene flakes.

A method includes charging PET bottle flakes having particular characteristics as a raw material into a crystallizer to generate a crystalline version thereof, drying the crystalline version with dehumidified air at a temperature of 160-180° C. and with a dew point of −40° C. to bring down a moisture level thereof below 100 ppm, melting the dried crystalline version through an extruder configured to have a temperature therein maintained at 285-295° C., and feeding the melted raw material into a spin beam.
