These layups are also almost exclusively thermoset composites, notes Lemay, using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) based on epoxy prepreg for road racing models, where lightweight performance is ...

With the skeleton of the airfoil complete, the build then moves on to laminating the foam core with carbon fiber. The epoxy itself is West Systems Pro-Set laminating epoxy, although we suspect the ...

By purchasing carbon fiber filament and epoxy resin and using this machine, you can create structural carbon fiber tubes for about 80% less than they would cost commercially. The system comes with ...

A new biotechnological process shows how to break down and remove the matrix from carbon fiber reinforced polymers so that recovered carbon fiber plies exhibit mechanical properties comparable to ...

Fungi can create valuable materials from broken-down carbon fiber, potentially revolutionizing the recycling process.

An international group of researchers from the University of Kansas and the University of Southern California has developed a ...

Carbon fiber manufacturer 4M Carbon Fiber (Knoxville, Tenn., U.S.) announces the commencement of its 50-ton/year plasma oxidation qualification line project. This strategic initiative marks a critical ...

Today, carbon-fiber materials are nearly ubiquitous in the industrialized world, found in everything from hockey sticks to passenger ...
