Abstract

The article focuses on the development of lower-cost and higher-speed methods of mass manufacturing carbon fiber products. It states carbon fibers are commonly created using polyacrylonitrile as a precursor material which is carbonized and developed into carbon fibers. It mentions the fibers are impregnated into chemically activated resins which are cured using autoclaves. It comments on new techniques of combining carbon fiber sheets with injection-molded plastic or three-dimensional printing.
