A brief look at some of the key factors that make carbon fiber composites a viable alternative to traditional materials
2023-07-20
Nowadays, we find new uses for carbon fiber almost every day. These tiny filaments, which are currently available in a wide variety of functional shapes, have a diameter of one-tenth the thickness of a human hair. The fibers are processed into fabrics that can be used for molding subsequent molding processes and formed into tubes and sheets for construction, or as conventional threads for fiber wi...
