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 ...

Carbon fibers are polymers of carbon/graphite arranged in large sheets of hexagonal rings and confer several advantages such as high stiffness, high tensile strength, high chemical resistivity, high ...

A couple of years ago, America witnessed the birth of Rift Carbon Campers, a travel trailer manufacturer aiming to build some of North America's lightest teardrops. But they've been offline for some ...

Technically speaking, carbon fiber dates back to 1879, when Thomas Edison created it out of cotton and bamboo slivers to produce lightbulb filament. However, it wouldn’t be refined into the strong, ...
