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 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 ...

California-based aerospace and defense startup Hybron has closed an oversubscribed $25 million seed round to expand its high-speed, low-cost carbon fiber composite manufacturing. Its proprietary ...

Porsche set out to design its 2023 MY 911 GT3 RS vehicle for peak performance on the track. Though the FIA specifies steel rollover cages for vehicles that race officially, the company has designed ...

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 ...

This blog is a compilation of publicly available information on Safran Group’s (Paris, France) production of carbon fiber-reinforced carbon (carbon/carbon) brake discs for aircraft. The company ...

Carbon fiber is a pretty amazing material, what with its enormous strength and low weight. When you want performance, whether it has to do with accelerating and cornering quickly, reducing energy use, ...

In addition, graphene oxide with a size-controlled to around 100 nanometers (nm) was added, and then, following the same process as the conventional synthetic fiber manufacturing method, the CNT paste ...

If there's one fascinating fact about spiders that everyone knows, it's that their silken webs are deceptively strong. It can have a tensile strength of up to around 1000 megapascals, which can be ...

LeMond Composites, a manufacturer of high-volume, low-cost carbon fiber composites, will invest $125 million to expand its campus by building its first carbon fiber production line at its facility at ...

To dispel the misconception that composite materials cannot be recycled, Thermolysis is dedicated to developing a range of products that can be entirely recycled, utilizing recycled materials as a ...
