Through a novel electrospinning technique, researchers have effectively achieved a “bridge” between carbon fiber and its ...

Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber is a staple in aerospace and high-performance vehicles — and now, ...

Schematic representation of carbon fiber preparation from polyacrylonitrile. The turbostratic structure of PAN CF contrasts with the mesophase pitch CFs, which form strongly directional (sheet ...

The carbon fiber market is poised for strong growth driven by rising demand across aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy sectors due to its hig ...

A commercial breakthrough came in 1964 at the U.K.’s Royal Aircraft Establishment, whose labs extracted highly stiff purified carbon from polyacrylonitrile fiber, or PAN. PAN is a thermoplastic ...
