Abstract

The history of carbon composites dates back to the late 1800s. Thomas Edison used carbon composite filament in light bulbs. A carbon composite is composed of two or more materials to create a superior and unique material. Edison’s carbon composite filaments were made out of cellulose-based materials, such as cotton or bamboo, unlike the petroleum-based precursors used today. It was not until late 1950s that high tensile strength carbon fibers were discovered [1–3]. However, the first truly modulus commercial grade carbon fibers were invented in 1964. The benefits of these high-strength carbon-based composites are that they weighed a fraction of the weight of steel, yet contained much greater tensile strength than steel [4].
