Pagani has a very specific carbon manufacturing process, and it's not about to share its secrets with other builders.

If you've spent anytime around performance vehicles — cars, high speed boats, aircraft, bicycles, etc. — you've likely seen carbon fiber used somewhere in the construction. It might seem like wizardry ...

Carbon fibers consist of thin filaments (5–10 micrometers in diameter) made of long chains of carbon atoms arranged in a polycrystalline structure. These fibers contain 92–100 wt% anisotropic carbon ...

Carbon fiber has reached a point of borderline oversaturation, even trickling down to borderline-affordably priced performance cars in recent years. But even if we’re not longer as impressed by the ...

California-based aerospace and defense startup Hybron has closed an oversubscribed $25 million seed round to expand its high-speed, low-cost carbon fiber composite manufacturing. Its proprietary ...

While many composites fabricators are aware of the need to mitigate toxic emissions from resins, dealing with the unique conditions from carbon fiber processing raises the bar on abatement ...

Finished carbon fibers derived from bitumen. Photo Credit, all images: UBC Applied Science/Paul Joseph A new process developed at the University of British Columbia (UBC, Canada) has the potential to ...

[Thomas Sanladerer] wanted to make 3D prints using carbon fiber and was surprised that it was fairly inexpensive and worked well, although he mentions that the process is a bit intense. You can learn ...

Understanding the performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer under elevated temperatures is essential to expanding its application in construction, particularly in fire-prone environments. This ...

In this work material synergy with high stiffness carbon fiber with ductile high strength polypropylene fiber (Innegra S), (referred to as Innegra, herein) have been evaluated in a range of laminate ...
