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 ...

Carbon fiber has long been integral to boatbuilding, but its role has typically been limited to visual accents, deck pieces, or the composition of offshore racing yachts. The exotic material is now ...

New research from engineers at Monash University and RMIT has revealed that moisture absorption is the most important factor in how carbon fiber used in aircraft degrades over time. The discovery ...

Carbon fiber is a pretty amazing material, what with its enormous strength and low weight. When you want performance, whether it has to do with accelerating and cornering quickly, reducing energy use, ...

The DOE-funded Carbon Fiber Design Project has developed, and aims to scale up, fibers with noncircular geometry optimized to ...

Callaway's new Quantum drivers use the Tri-Force Face, a three-layer design bonding titanium and carbon fiber with a polymer the R&D team found in military research. By Stan Horaczek Published May 4, ...
