Carbon Fibre reinforced polymer or Carbon Fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP or CRP or often simply carbon fibre), is a very strong and light fibre reinforced polymer which contains Carbon Fibre, The polymer is most often epoxy, but other polymers, such as polyester, vinyl ester or nylon, are sometimes used. The composite may contain other fibres Full Article…
Pultrusion is a continuous process for manufacture of composite materials with constant cross-section. Reinforced fibers are pulled through a resin, possibly followed by a separate preforming system, and into a heated die, where the resin undergoes polymerization. Many resin types may be used in pultrusion including polyester, polyurethane, vinylester and epoxy. The technology is not Full Article…
Carbon fibre or carbon fibre in Europe, alternatively graphite fibre, carbon graphite or CF, is a material consisting of fibres about 5–10 μm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are bonded together in crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fibre. The crystal Full Article…
