Carbon fiber has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, heat conduction and corrosion resistance. The appearance is fibrous, soft, and can be processed into various products.
Carbon fiber has a low density, so its specific strength and specific modulus are high. The main purpose of carbon fiber is to composite with resin, metal, ceramics and carbon as a reinforcing material to make advanced composite materials.
Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites have the highest specific strength and specific modulus among existing engineering materials.
