Chomarat Non-crimp fabrics based on very heavy tow fibers

摘要

The manufacturer of composites and technical textiles Chomarat Textile Industries, Le Cheylard/France, is working on formatting very heavy tow LCCF (low-cost carbon fiber) into C-PLY, a carbon multiaxial product or non-crimp fabric (NCF) made up of unidirectional layers. The company proposes design optimization using low-cost carbon fiber input from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN/USA.
