If you've spent anytime around performance vehicles — cars, high speed boats, aircraft, bicycles, etc. — you've likely seen carbon fiber used somewhere in the construction. It might seem like wizardry ...

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 ...

Explore the basics of working with carbon materials through a simple process designed to help beginners understand techniques ...

How is a carbon fibre road bike made? We went behind the scenes at the massive XDS Bikes factory in China to see how carbon ...

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can learn ...

CCIC has developed a catalytic recycling pathway that reclaims full-length carbon fibers and reusable polyols from thermoset ...

Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI have developed a technology that makes it possible to reclaim continuous carbon fibres from composite ...

Carbon fiber has reached a point of borderline oversaturation, even trickling down to borderline-affordably priced performance cars in recent years. But even if we’re not longer as impressed by the ...

While many composites fabricators are aware of the need to mitigate toxic emissions from resins, dealing with the unique conditions from carbon fiber processing raises the bar on abatement ...
