ORNL offers low-cost carbon fibre to US companies

摘要

THE US Department of Energy's Carbon Fiber Technology Facility operated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is accepting proposals from companies that want to test low-cost carbon fibres manufactured in its pilot plant. The Carbon Fiber Technology Facility (CFTF), operated by ORNL as part of the Department's Clean Energy Manufacturing Initiative, opened earlier this year. Its objective is to find ways to reduce carbon fibre production costs and to work with the private sector to stimulate wider use of carbon fibre.
