Abstract

The section of "Industrial Applications of Textiles" focuses on various aspects of fibre-reinforced composites and the usage of inorganic fibers in industrial applications. It is reported that for high-performance structures, the fibres employed are usually either carbon or glass embedded in a suitable resin. Though epoxide, polyester, phenolic, polyphenylene, and polyimide resins are extensively used in industries, these impose a temperature limitation in service. Information on extensive use of carbon fibres and moulding techniques has also been provided.

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a process for manufacturing carbon fibres of larger diameter than those normally available from the “RAE process” [1] or other routes which have so far been described (e.g. the hot-stretching of pitch [2] or cellulose-based [3] fibres). The method consists of impregnating a bundle of carbon fibres or their precursors with resin and after curing, subjecting the composite fibre to a controlled carbonization. The end-product is a thin rod or fibre of carbon-fibre reinforced carbon, which can, in principle, have any desired cross-sectional shape or area [4].
