Korean firms collaborate on chemical decomposition technology that recovers carbon fibers with 95.7% efficiency for global ...

Healable spacecraft structures could soon be possible thanks to cutting-edge composite technology. Swiss companies CompPair ...

A cross-disciplinary team at Rice University has developed a new type of electric heating element—one that looks less like a ...

Carbon fiber is one of the most impressive materials out there. It is stronger than steel, yet so lightweight that it's used in everything from airplanes and tough parts for supercars to high-end ...

A Chinese research team has flight-tested a tilt-rotor drone built partly from bamboo fibers, reporting a weight reduction of more than 20% compared to an equivalent carbon-fiber design. According to ...

Airbus is edging closer to the release of the A350F.

If you've spent anytime around performance vehicles — cars, high speed boats, aircraft, bicycles, etc. — you've likely seen carbon fiber used somewhere in the construction. It might seem like wizardry ...

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 ...

A new draft revision of the European Union’s End of Life Vehicles (ELV) Directive could lead to the classification of carbon fiber as a hazardous material, potentially banning its use in cars by 2029.
