1k Carbon fiber fabric and Carbon fiber fabric's history

Carbon fibers fabric are polymers of graphite, a pure form of carbon where the atoms are arranged in big sheets of hexagonal rings that look like chicken wire. Bacon’s graphite whiskers were sheets of graphite rolled into scrolls, with the graphite sheets continuous over the entire length of the filament.

“After studying the heck out of these things, I finally published a paper in the Journal of Applied Physics in 1960,” Bacon says. The paper has since become a milestone, partially because some have claimed that Bacon may have been the first person to produce carbon nanotubes—hollow cylinders of graphite with diameters on the order of single molecules. Their incredible properties have made nanotubes one of the hottest areas of research in recent years, promising to revolutionize just about every area of science. Sumio Iijima published a paper in 1991 that is often regarded as the first discovery of carbon nanotubes; it reported on a method that produced both tubes and scrolls. The process is similar to Bacon’s, suggesting that he too may have prepared nanotubes along with his whiskers, although he didn’t know it at the time. “I may have made nanotubes, but I didn’t discover them,” he says.

By producing his high strength and high modulus whiskers, Bacon had demonstrated experimentally something that theoreticians had proposed long ago. But the fibers were still just a laboratory phenomenon, not a practical development. “I estimated the cost of what it took to make them, and it was $10 million per pound,” he says. To tap their full potential, manufacturers needed a cheap and efficient way to produce carbon  fibers. Much of the research in the ensuing decades was dedicated to exactly that.

1. Suface coating after epoxy glue will be fine,we often cut the fabric by electric scissor.

2. Packing:100m/roll,MOQ:1000sqm of each color for large,samples can be negotiated.
3. We can customize the carbon fabric length,packing,width,density to satisfy each customer's requirements.
