McLaren has been on the bleeding edge of carbon fiber technology for more than 40 years now. It all started way back in the '80s when it started using carbon fiber in the construction of its Formula 1 ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy due to their strength, lightweight nature, and chemical resistance. However, their ...

Carbon fibers are essential in aviation, wind energy, and lightweight construction. However, since they are based on petroleum, their production has been very harmful to the environment. A research ...

When crude oil is processed, a lot of grungy byproducts are left over. A new study indicates that a couple of those substances can be used to make low-cost carbon fibers, which could in turn find use ...

Carbon fibre remains a material of keen interest due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and versatility in high-performance applications. In recent years, the production processes have ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...
