Schematic representation of carbon fiber preparation from polyacrylonitrile. The turbostratic structure of PAN CF contrasts with the mesophase pitch CFs, which form strongly directional (sheet ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy due to their strength, lightweight nature, and chemical resistance.

A research team at the University of Limerick in Ireland has developed a new method of producing carbon fiber while ...
