| 1 | Carbon-Fiber Composites: Development, Structure, Properties, and Applications. In: Kharissova O., Martínez L., Kharisov B. (eds) Handbook of Nanomaterials and Nanocomposites for Energy and Environmental Applications |
Carbon fibers are stiff and possess high strength comparable with that of high strength steel. They are embedded in a ductile-low strength material which binds them together to form a carbon fiber composite. Improved properties are developed from a blend of carbon fibers and matrix material, which are not achievable from each component used individually. Carbon fiber composites (CFCs) are light and strong and are replacing existing heavy alloys or metals across various engineering sectors. Non-uniform properties of CFC from a direction to another remain a challenge. Addressing anisotropy in CFC gives a premise for varying orientation ofcarbon fibers that gives rise to different carbon fiber plies which are tape, weaving, and knitting plies. Carbon fiber is sourced from conventional fossil resources including coal, natural gas, and coal which are not renewable, and the exploitation of these resources poses threat to ecology and human comfort. Recent emerging waste-to-wealth technology reveals extraction of crop fiber from remnants of agricultural creations which are carbon based and are possible replacement for carbon fiber in composite fabrications. Therefore, this chapter covers an overview of CFC, development, structure, and applications. Introduction ofplant remnants for replacing carbon-fiber in composite fabrication is part of this discussion | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-11155-7_86- | |||||
