CARBON FIBRE CHEMISTRY ASSIGNMENT Properties: Carbon Fibre is one of the most useful organic materials known to man. Carbon Fibre is used for its strength to weight ratio. It is extremely strong and weighs very little. Carbon Fibres may also join with other materials to make many compounds that all have very practical applications. These are called Hybrid Composites. One of the most useful and widely used of these composites is fibreglass, which is made by adding glass fibres to carbon fibres. The outcome is a strong lightweight material that is used to build boat hulls, eskies and many other useful items. Other materials made from carbon fibres are some fabrics and some plastics. Preparation: Carbon Fibres can be made from two different raw materials. The first is where the fibre is made from the precursors material PITCH. This method is rarely used due to the fact that the end fibre is not as...
