[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 ...

Scientists have developed high-strength, super-tough sheets of carbon that can be inexpensively fabricated at low temperatures. The team made the sheets by chemically stitching together platelets of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In order to exploit the remarkable mechanical properties of graphene for practical applications, nanoscale graphene sheets need to be assembled into much larger, macroscopic ...

In the A5, Icon Aircraft has produced an airplane that handles easily, resists dangerous spins, and treats its pilots and passengers to an open, airy cockpit. What the small company hasn’t produced, ...

Apart from the proven ability to be recycled in the form of macroscopic sheets, the researchers also see the potential for further disintegration of the recycled sheets into their constituent parts, ...

Carbon fiber is a material with some very unique and valuable properties. In fact, it offers the best stiffness –to-weight ratio of any material you are likely to find, either made from metals or ...

The MP4/1’s carbon-­fiber chassis looked much like an aluminum one painted black, but midway through the season a string of two podiums and a win proved the difference. Establishing the precise ...

IACMI Project 3.2 evaluated carbon fiber-reinforced composites infused with a novel epoxy-based resin system to develop structural composite parts with complex geometry to replace metals in ...

The frame of a Pursuit Cycles bicycle is made of carbon fiber and weighs just 1.5 pounds. A Strong Frames titanium frame is, by comparison, a heavyweight—three pounds. Both these companies were ...
