AUBURN HILLS, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After winning a JEC Innovation Award in 2016 for its Lincoln MKS Decklid Concept – a TCA Ultra Lite® outer panel and a carbon fiber RTM prototype inner – ...

[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 ...

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 ...

The growing calls for lower weight carbon fiber composites in automotive applications is propelling the carbon fiber industry towards the development of high quality inexpensive carbon fiber. Most ...

Large flakes of graphene oxide are the essential ingredient in a new recipe for robust carbon fiber created at Rice University. The fiber spun at Rice is unique for the strength of its knots. Most ...

Mitsui Chemicals and Microwave Chemical have developed a process to make carbon fiber using microwaves. The process uses microwaves to heat fibers during the oxidation process and subsequent ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 22, 2016 - 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 ...

High strength, dimensional stability and fit accuracy coupled with low weight are the hallmarks of large-format composite components produced using the Long Fiber Injection (LFI) process from ...

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 ...

Born out of $10 million in research funding from the Department of Defense, Natural Fiber Welding (NFW) has the potential to change the way textiles are made and discarded materials are reused. Dr.

In this process, the size-controlled graphene oxide enhanced the dispersion of the CNT dope and significantly reduced the nozzle clogging during spinning. Finally, the CNTs with oxygen functional ...
