Recent announcements from the aviation industry have pointed out that carbon fiber will become an increasingly important material in the construction of modern passenger aircraft. In addition, the use of carbon fiber is increasing in such industries as mass transport, automotive, marine, medical, sport and wind turbines. In this book, the author provides a detailed account of the manufacturing processes for PAN, pitch and carbonized viscose rayon carbon fibres. A comprehensive section on carbon fiber testing and characterization is followed by a section on textile conversion of carbon fibers and techniques for mixing carbon fiber and composite substrates. The broad sweep of applications of carbon fiber is also covered in detail.
