Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are novel materials boasting 100-times the strength of steel at 75% less weight. Further, conductivity can be as high as that of copper. If fibers could be made using these ...
With more and more demanding requirement of customers on the mechanical performance of products, and as the price is very high for carbon fiber, aramid fiber, S2 and other high performance fiber; ...
A prepreg is a carbon fiber sheet pre-impregnated with matrix resin. This new textile version instead uses Tenax TPWF (Thermo Plastic Woven Fabric) as a base and achieves a high level impregnation ...
A space elevator, a technology connecting the Earth’s surface to a space station, would allow for the cost-efficient transport of people and materials. However, a very light yet strong material is ...

Carbon fibre in F1: How composite structures are built
Carbon fibre changed Formula 1 permanently when the McLaren MP4/1 became the first carbon fibre monocoque chassis to race in 1981. In the four ...
Since Roger Bacon discovered “graphite whiskers” in 1958 at Union Carbide’s Parma Technical Center (now GrafTech International), carbon fibers have been used in high performance applications from ...
