Introduction to Carbon fibers - A Historical Perspective

摘要

The commercial production of carbon fiber can be traced way back to 1969, when Courtaids in the UK opened a 5 Tonnes a year plant to make staple fiber that had a Tensile Strength of 1900 Mpa and Modulus of 180Gpa. From the days of its origin the name carbon fibers has come to be synonymous with Aerospace and Aero Structures which still continue to be the most profitable sectors for Carbon fiber manufacturers worldwide.
