2. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-fiber_reinforced...

   A fiberglass, carbon fiber, or aluminum mold is polished and waxed, and has a release agent applied before the fabric and resin are applied, and the vacuum is pulled and set aside to allow the piece to cure (harden). There are three ways to apply the resin to the fabric in a vacuum mold.

3. Micarta - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micarta

   Micarta is a brand name for composites of linen, canvas, paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic. It was originally used in electrical and decorative applications. Micarta was developed by George Westinghouse at least as early as 1910 using phenolic resins invented by Leo Baekeland. These resins were used to ...

4. Carbon fibers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fibers

   Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5 to 10 micrometers (0.00020–0.00039 in) in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. [1] Carbon fibers have several advantages: high stiffness, high tensile strength, high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high ...

5. Lay-up process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay-Up_process

   [8] [11] Each combination of fabric and resin has its own optimal polymerization cycles, dependent on the wettability of the fibres and resin properties, like viscosity and gel point. [citation needed] Typically, the three cycles of temperature, pressure and vacuum are studied experimentally to obtain the best combination of the three ...

7. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer), aramid, or basalt.

8. CFSMC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFSMC

   CFSMC, or Carbon Fiber Sheet Molding Compound (also known as CSMC or CF-SMC), is a ready to mold carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite material used in compression molding. While traditional SMC utilizes chopped glass fibers in a polymer resin, CFSMC utilizes chopped carbon fibers. The length and distribution of the carbon fibers is more ...

9. Automated fiber placement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_fiber_placement

   The fiber usually comes in the form of what are referred to as "tows". A tow is typically a bundle of carbon fibers impregnated with epoxy resin and is approximately 0.500 inches (12.7 mm) wide by 0.005 inches (0.13 mm) thick and comes on a spool. Fiber placement machines (FPM) generally have a capacity of 12 to 32 tows or when placing all tows ...
