Carbon fiber is made from organic polymers, which consist of long strings of molecules held together by carbon atoms. Most carbon fibers (about 90%) are made from the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) process. A small amount (about 10%) are manufactured from rayon or the...

Braiding
por LlucMarti | Ago 9, 2022 | Getting technical
In braiding, a mandrel is fed through the center of the machine at a uniform rate and fiber yarns from moving carriers on the machine braid over the mandrel at a controlled rate. The carriers work in pairs to accomplish an over/under braiding sequence. Two or more...
How does the properties of composites materials fair against each other when it comes to their strain-stress curve?
por LlucMarti | Jul 28, 2022 | Getting technical
Many different properties of composite materials can be acquired through a stress-strain graph, such as Maximum Tensile Strength, Yield Strength, Young's Modulus, Resilience, Toughness, etc. As you can see, each different reinforcement shown in this graph...
How thin are carbon fibers?
por LlucMarti | Jul 21, 2022 | Getting technical
The answer is simple, carbon fibers have a diameter between 5 and 10 micrometers. But that is kind of hard to visualize, right? So, let's compare them to something all humans have (some more than others), hair! Luckily, we have a very nice picture that...
Why does carbon fibers possess such a high modulus in the direction of the fiber?
por LlucMarti | Jul 12, 2022 | Getting technical
As many questions related to materials engineering, to answer that we have to understand the unit cell structure of the material, in this case, graphite.The crystal structure of graphite consists of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms arranged two-dimensionally in a honeycomb...
