"A carbon fiber is a long‚ thin strand of material about 0.005-0.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The crystal alignment makes the fiber incredibly strong for its size. Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn‚ which may be used by itself or woven into a fabric. The yarn or fabric is combined with epoxy and wound or molded

ASSIGNMENT: 1 SESSION: 2012/13 TUTOR: Stuart Allan WORD COUNT: 1‚891 Carbon fibre is a strong‚ yet light‚ reinforced polymer. Carbon fibres are used in applications where high strength and light weight are required. Carbon fibres can also be easily moulded into the desired shape. They are also chemically inert‚ resistant to heat‚ and do not expand under changing temperatures. Machining of carbon fibre materials can generate airborne particles. The potential health effects of

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer Name Institutional analysis Introduction Carbon Fibre reinforced polymer commonly known as CFRP is a very strong composite material that is majorly preferred for many automotive and aeronautical application due to the fact that despite their strength that still light that the traditional metallic materials. The polymers often used to make this composite material is epoxy‚ polyester‚ vinyl and even nylon. Thus in making CFRP carbon fibre is often combined with polymers

Advantages of Carbon fibre reinforcement polymer (CFRP) Carbon fibre reinforcement polymer (CFRP) is an extremely strong and light which contains carbon fiber. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite have been widely used in various applications especially used in the fabrication of aerospace structures and formula one body structures. Because of their low density‚ high strength and rigidity‚ excellent resistances to impacting and corrosion‚ CFRPs are widely applicable in various important

Carbon fibre-reinforced carbon (aka carbon–carbon‚ abbreviated C/C) is a composite material consisting of carbon fibre reinforcement in a matrix of graphite. It was developed for the nose cones of intercontinental ballistic missiles‚ and is most widely known as the material for the nose cone and wing leading edges of the Space Shuttle orbiter. It has been used in the brake systems of Formula One racing cars since 1976; carbon–carbon brake discs and pads are a standard component of Formula One brake

recreation applications. A fiber is a hair-like strand of material. “They are the smallest visible unit of a fabric and are denoted by being extremely long in relation to their width. Synthetic fibers are man made from chemicals. They are generally based on polymers and are stronger than natural and regenerated fibers. Synthetic fibers are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal and plant fibers” (NSP). In its physical form synthetic fibers are widely available

cloth. Good portions of these are combinations of synthetic fibers woven or threaded together to make a final product. These synthetic fibers are a large group of polymers. Synthetic polymers offer more possibilities‚ since they can be designed with molecular structures that impart properties for desired end uses. All fibers are ploy-something or polymers. That means they are long strings of repeating chemical elements. Some fibers come from ground plants that synthesize connected units of cellulose

STRUCTURAL MATERIAL: CARBON FIBER Carbon Fiber is a structural material of graphite which is an allotrope of carbon. Therefore Carbon Fibre consists of carbon atoms in an atomic structure similar to Graphite. Carbon Fibre is composed of filament threads and within these threads are an accumulation of thousands of fine Carbon filaments. A filament has a diameter of approximately 5-10 micrometers. (Madehow‚ 2012) Due to the substantial stability in bonding between Graphite and Carbon Fiber the structure
