Any papers/ articles on carbon fibre?

In summary, carbon fibre is a lightweight and strong material made from carbon atoms that is used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. It is made through a process called carbonization, where a precursor material is heated to high temperatures. The advantages of using carbon fibre include its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and longer lifespan. However, it is more expensive and brittle compared to other materials. Ongoing research is focused on developing more cost-effective and sustainable production methods, improving its properties, and exploring new applications such as in the medical and construction fields.

any papers/ articles on carbon fibre??

hey I'm looking to do a study into the acoustic properties of carbon fibre but haven't been able to come across any current papers dealing specifically with this topic.

does anyone know of any journals that have had published articles or better still any thesis' on CF?

Athens just isn't showing anything for me

Cheers

ScienceDirect shows a plethora of journal articles looking at acoustic techniques in the field of CFRP.
 

1. What is carbon fibre?

Carbon fibre is a lightweight and strong material made from carbon atoms bonded together in a crystal lattice. It is typically used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.

2. How is carbon fibre made?

Carbon fibre is made through a process called carbonization, where a precursor material, such as polyacrylonitrile (PAN) or rayon, is heated to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. This process removes non-carbon elements and creates long, thin strands of carbon atoms that are then woven into a fabric.

3. What are the advantages of using carbon fibre?

Carbon fibre offers numerous advantages over traditional materials such as steel or aluminum. It is significantly lighter, yet stronger and stiffer, allowing for improved performance and fuel efficiency. It is also corrosion-resistant and has a longer lifespan.

4. Are there any limitations to using carbon fibre?

While carbon fibre has many benefits, it also has some limitations. It is more expensive than other materials, making it less accessible for some applications. It is also more brittle and can be prone to damage from impact or high temperatures.

5. What are some current research or developments in carbon fibre technology?

There is ongoing research in developing new methods for producing carbon fibre that are more cost-effective and sustainable. There are also efforts to improve the properties of carbon fibre, such as increasing its impact resistance and developing recyclable or biodegradable options. Additionally, there is ongoing research on integrating carbon fibre into new applications, such as in the medical field for prosthetics or in construction for earthquake-resistant buildings.
