Initially only seeing brief popular use as the filament in incandescent lighting, carbon fibers (CF) experienced a resurgence during the 20th century as part of composite materials that are lighter… ...

But the cloth-like texture and structure of the carbon thread means that you can’t just throw a bunch of carbon fiber at something and create a shape—the application has to be carefully done.

Deconstructing epoxy resins with hot acetic acid has the potential to provide a scalable and affordable solution for ...

Carbon fibers are used sparingly in automotive applications, but someday entire body panels may be made from them. All high speed aircraft have carbon fiber composites in their brakes and other ...

The future of carbon fiber and similar materials seems even brighter. In February 2022, the University of Wisconsin-Madison announced that it had developed an incredible new material. Phys.org ...

Dyneema is similar to Innegra except it is made with an ultra-high molecular-weight polyethylene plastic instead of a polypropylene. Dyneema is light and durable while carbon fiber is light and stiff.

Toray’s new porous carbon fiber (top left, showing hollow central shaft) features a controllable, nano- or micro-scale pore structure throughout the entire fiber (top right). That porous structure ...

Reverse osmosis molecular differentiation of organic liquids using carbon molecular sieve membranes. Science , 2016; 353 (6301): 804 DOI: 10.1126/science.aaf1343 Cite This Page : ...

Carbon fibre has a huge advantage over metal, in this respect. In both design and construction, a nearly infinite diversity of fibre orientations are possible within unified composite structures.
