I have a need to orient random chopped carbon fibers (1" long, 10
microns diameter) into a large flat area (like a sheet of paper) - as
uniformly distributed and aligned (parallel) as reasonably possible. A
high packing density would be preferred. I know you can use an electric
field on glass fibers, but that won't work on conductive fibers. I
could use a temporary 'carrier' to help if it can be completely removed
afterwards. Tweezers and a magnifying glass are just too tedious.
More useful suggestions would be appreciated.
