Iowa State University engineers have developed patented thermo-mechanochemical and bio-oil modification technologies that ...

Engineers are taking their innovations for producing high-performance, high-value biobased carbon fiber from batch production ...

The autoclave has long defined thermoset composites processing — snap-cure epoxy prepreg systems are built around the premise that it doesn't have to. Are you looking for new ways to reduce weight, ...

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 ...

This video examines why carbon fiber — despite being stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum — isn’t used for ...

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 ...

Recycled carbon fiber composites enable a 60% lighter battery enclosure, cutting production steps by 95% and molding cycle to ...

My interest in the history of composite materials in Japan began with a simple question about the aircraft industry. In the ...

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 ...

[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 ...
