Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy due to their strength, lightweight nature, and chemical resistance. However, their ...

Carbon fibers are essential in aviation, wind energy, and lightweight construction. However, since they are based on petroleum, their production has been very harmful to the environment. A research ...

Strengthened carbon fiber capacity will support high-end applications in sport, aerospace, hypercar and others in Japan and ...

The study has pioneered a method that transforms polymer, one of the cheapest fibers in the composite space, into high-cost, valuable substances, said Travis Williams, a professor of chemistry at ...

When crude oil is processed, a lot of grungy byproducts are left over. A new study indicates that a couple of those substances can be used to make low-cost carbon fibers, which could in turn find use ...

Carbon fibre remains a material of keen interest due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and versatility in high-performance applications. In recent years, the production processes have ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

This blog is a compilation of publicly available information on Safran Group’s (Paris, France) production of carbon fiber-reinforced carbon (carbon/carbon) brake discs for aircraft. The company ...

To dispel the misconception that composite materials cannot be recycled, Thermolysis is dedicated to developing a range of products that can be entirely recycled, utilizing recycled materials as a ...

By recycling the gases passing through a pyrolysis reactor, researchers have demonstrated a more efficient way to convert ...
