Scientists at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology have devised a carbon fiber fabrication process that they say is considerably quicker and easier than the conventional method.

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have demonstrated a production method they estimate will reduce the cost of carbon fiber as much as 50 percent and the energy ...

As an exotic car manufacturer, Lamborghini is accustomed to building small numbers of extremely expensive and advanced supercars. It’s part of what makes Lamborghinis cool – you don’t see them every ...

[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 ...

Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

Despite the drawbacks of the manufacturing process, the worldwide demands for the CFRP among composite materials would be expected to increase according to a number of independent sources [1,2].

The structural properties of composite materials are derived primarily from the fiber reinforcement. In a composite, the fiber, held in place by the matrix resin, contributes tensile strength, ...

McLaren has been on the bleeding edge of carbon fiber technology for more than 40 years now. It all started way back in the '80s when it started using carbon fiber in the construction of its Formula 1 ...
