Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber is a staple in aerospace and high-performance vehicles — and now, ...

Through a novel electrospinning technique, researchers have effectively achieved a “bridge” between carbon fiber and its ...

A spider web is a lot of powerful, lightweight strands in a very compact package, and so is carbon fiber. Roger Bacon was one of the very first to develop carbon fibers as we understand them today.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an innovative new ...

Pre-preg carbon fiber is a common term for reinforcing carbon strands impregnated with a resin - invariably epoxy. Thermoset carbon fiber molding is the most common manufacturing process in the ...

ORNL researchers developed a new method to enhance carbon fiber composites using carbon nanofibers for improved strength and ...

Study: Experimental Research on Bonded Anchorage of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Prestressed Strands. Image Credit: prapann/Shutterstock.com. Background. Due to the improvement of the global ...

But carbon fiber -- strands of carbon atoms bonded together in a matrix -- is particularly tough to recycle into new useful materials. "It's usually a woven material combined with a matrix ...

The BMW iX features an assortment of carbon fiber panels called a Carbon Cage, for example. At the time of this writing, the proposed ban (which hasn’t been approved yet) would only apply to cars.

[Ham Radio Rookie] knew about random wire antennas but didn’t want a wire antenna. So, he took carbon fiber extension poles and Faraday tape and made a “random stick” antenna. You can check ...
