2. 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 ...

3. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

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

   Tail of a radio-controlled helicopter, made of CFRP. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (American English), carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (Commonwealth English), carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics, carbon-fiber reinforced-thermoplastic (CFRP, CRP, CFRTP), also known as carbon fiber, carbon composite, or just carbon, are extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastics that contain carbon ...

4. Pitch-based carbon fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch-based_carbon_fiber

   Mesophase pitch is made by polymerizing isotropic pitch to a higher molecular weight. The melting point for the mesophase pitch is roughly 300 °C. An advantage in the production of Pitch carbon fibers over PAN carbon fibers is that Pitch carbon fibers do not require constant tension on the fibers at all processing stages.

5. Composite material - Wikipedia

   Carbon composite is a key material in today's launch vehicles and heat ... a composite material made up of α and β phases as shown in ... Carbon Fiber Composite ...

6. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

   Today, each of these fibres is used widely in industry for any applications that require plastics with specific strength or elastic qualities. Glass fibres are the most common across all industries, although carbon-fibre and carbon-fibre-aramid composites are widely found in aerospace, automotive and sporting good applications. [17]

7. Ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_matrix_composite

   Fracture surface of a fiber-reinforced ceramic composed of SiC fibers and SiC matrix. The fiber pull-out mechanism shown is the key to CMC properties. CMC shaft sleeves. In materials science ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix.

   XB-1 is made almost entirely from carbon fiber composites, selected for being both strong and lightweight. Overture is designed to be powered by conventional jet engines and to run on up to 100% ...

9. Reinforced carbon–carbon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforced_carbon–carbon

   The Dunlop carbon brakes as used on the Concorde airliner. The brake disc of this Ferrari race car's braking system is made from carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide which is a CMC rather than a C/C. Carbon fibre-reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) is a development of pure carbon–carbon that uses silicon carbide with carbon fibre.
