Technical Status and Future Prospects of Carbon Fibres and their Application in Composites with Polymer Matrix (CFRPs)

  • Conference paper
Book cover Carbon Fibres and Their Composites

Abstract

The structure of carbon fibres and its dependence on the presursor material gives an understanding of the properties of today’s commercial fibre types. The possibilities of further improvement are considered from theoretical viewpoint as well as starting from the properties of PAN based fibres of the new generation just in development. The problem of correct terminology of this promising new material is raised. Economic considerations are presented, comprising a review on present technology, the world demand and the price situation. Finally, the various fields for application of carbon fibres — such as aerospace, transportation, sport, machinery and apparatus, cryogenic technology, as well as medicine — are discussed briefly.
