Long description

The Evolution is unique in design and material and truly is the best of both worlds. In the case of the EVOLUTION, AccuFLEX Golf’s Nano Composite technology enhancement increases the surface area of the shaft thereby creating a tighter molecular structure. This means that shafts that are enhanced with AccuFLEX Golf’s Nano Composite technology have fewer voids in the fiber, tighter tolerances and can feature lighter weight with more fiber density. Nano Composite technology shafts are also stronger, have faster recovery with less shaft deformation while transmitting better feel.”

“Nanotechnology enables us to control matter at a smaller scale than we have ever been able to before.

The process of applying the nanotech enhancement involves either a dipping or spray applied in raw form, followed by a normal curing process.

The benefits of working on the nano level will vary depending on the products enhanced. Nanotechnology has amazing applications in the area of life sciences and medicine, electronics and in other materials related to building, construction, clothing and just about every other product you can think of. In the case of graphite golf shafts, AccuFLEX Golf’s Nano Composite technology enhancement increases the surface area of our shafts thereby creating a tighter molecular structure. This means that shafts that are enhanced with AccuFLEX Golf’s Nano Composite technology have less voids in the fiber, tighter tolerances and can feature lighter weight with more fiber density. Nano Composite technology shafts are also stronger, have faster recovery with less shaft deformation while transmitting better feel.”

Our gym and bath towels are made from luxurious 100% pure cotton treated with SilverSure so they never go smelly in your gym bag, and help protect against fungal infections easily caught in public showering facilities such as the gym or the pool.

Our bath towels stay bacteria and odour free no matter how long between washes.”
http://www.agactive.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseaction/product.display/Product_I...)

“They have been designed from the ground up to provide maximum comfort and support and have also been treated with SilverSure - our patent pending process that infuses them with with billions of particles of silver, rendering them permanently anti microbial and anti fungal so that your feet feel and smell fresher for longer.

“One nanomaterial that is having an early impact in health care products is nano-silver. Silver has been used for the treatment of medical ailments for over 100 years due to its natural antibacterial and anti fungal properties. The nano-silver particles typically measure 25nm which means that a relatively small volume of silver gives an extremely large relative surface area, increasing the particles contact with bacteria or fungi, and vastly improving its bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness.”

“When the nano-silver comes in contact with bacteria and fungus it will adversely affect cellular metabolism and inhibit cell growth. The nano-silver suppresses respiration, basal metabolism of electron transfer system, and transport of substrate in the microbial cell membrane. The nano-silver inhibits multiplication and growth of those bacteria and fungi which cause infection, odor, itchiness sores and smelly feet.”

FIXED. Shorts

The number of urban riders grows every year, but we are often forced to choose between functional but unattractive cycling clothing or making do with everyday clothes. The Rapha FIXED. range is inspired by the demands of riding in town and the style and practicality of fixed wheel bikes. Each garment is designed for commuting in all weathers, but also with enough style to be worn in the office.

The FIXED. shorts are classic 3/4 length 'plus 4s' with a smart, tailored cut. They are made from water and stain resistant Schoeller Nanosphere fabric that is also stretchy and breathable enough to provide all day comfort on and off the bike. A slim foam pad stitched into the seat gives additional support. Buttons at the cuffs offer three different settings, from a loose at the leg, to tight over the top of the calf. There are two front and two rear pockets (with lock down YKK zips).

The Brown version of the FIXED. Shorts has discrete tweed detailing inside the pockets, fly and cuff adjusters.

If you are an urban rider but can't resort to full race gear, you can wear the FIXED. shorts all day without compromise.

Long description

Easton has an eighty-three year history of leading the market by developing new materials and innovative products. Easton has been manufacturing sporting goods using carbon-fiber composites since 1989 and has been the leading brand of composite bicycle handlebars since their introduction in 1998. Now Easton’s research and development team is proud to present a revolutionary breakthrough in composite materials and manufacturing.

Nanotechnology is the next frontier in scientific research and advanced manu-facturing. Nanotechnology deals with the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale measured in billionths of a meter (nanometers). Scientists worldwide are spending countless man-hours and billions of dollars researching uses for nanotechnology in the areas of electronics, medicine, robotics and structural reinforcement.

The weakest areas in a traditional carbon-fiber component are the tiny spaces between the fibers that contain only resin. To radically improve strength and toughness in these critical areas, Easton Scientists have developed an innovative Enhanced Resin System using carbon nanotubes (CNT). Carbon nanotubes are an array of carbon atoms arranged in a pattern of hexagons and pentagons (similar to the pattern found on soccer balls). These structures can be manufactured in tubular shapes one billionth of a meter in diameter, hence the name nanotube. Carbon nanotubes have been called “the strongest fiber that will ever be made”. Nanotubes have a strength-to-weight ratio orders of magnitude greater than steel.

Easton’s proprietary process impregnates the resin/fiber matrix with evenly distributed carbon nanotubes. The addition of real carbon nanotubes greatly improves the toughness and strengthens Easton’s already legendary components.

Long description

Maruman & Co., Ltd. (2-7-7 Ueno, Taito-ku, Tokyo. Tel. 03-3837-1544) has adopted fullerenes for use in golf club heads. New titanium fullerene materials are being used in their top of the line “New Majesty” driver, that went on sale on July 5th. Compared to conventional titanium, the new driver resists bending 12% better, has a hardness of Hv372, a 3.6% increase over titanium’s 359, and has a 20% more resilient head (based on robot testing), and flight distance has increased 15 yards (compared to their old 360cc class driver.) Since it was released, they have been overwhelmed with orders, to the point where the Maruman homepage (http://www.maruman.co.jp) displayed an apology from the company for the two-week delay for shipments of the driver. The driver is made up of two parts: the face (a forged part) that contacts the ball, and the body (a cast part). Currently, different titanium alloys are used for each part, and Ti-6Al-4V (Titanium 6 Aluminum 4 Vanadium, common name: 64 Titanium) alloy is normally used for the cast body. There were efforts to use other alloys, but no progress was made, and in the highly competitive world of golf, improving the properties of clubs was a problem from researchers.
