Industry Background:
Carbon fibers (CF), also known as graphite fiber are fibers with diameter of about 5–10 micrometers, and commonly composed of carbon atoms. These carbon fibers are widely used attributed to several advantages such as low weight, high stiffness, high tensile strength, high temperature tolerance, high chemical resistance, as well as low thermal expansion. Carbon fiber are highly used in aerospace, civil engineering, military, as well as motorsports, along with other competition sports. Various types such as continuous carbon fiber, long carbon fiber, as well as short carbon fiber are widely used among various end use industries.
