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 ...

Long-term vision anticipates European market needs with a secure, local supply of T300 and high-modulus fibers.

Take a look inside the Houston lab that makes an innovative new material with uses across multiple industries.

Lowering the cost and expanding the use of strong, lightweight carbon fiber will improve the energy efficiency of products including cars, trucks, and aircraft without sacrificing safety. The ORNL/RMX ...

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 ...

China has reportedly become the first country to mass-produce T1200-grade carbon fiber, a high-performance ...

Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon fiber and a piece of mined graphite. Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce ...
