Why is carbon fiber the ideal material?
Carbon fiber is a strong, durable material composed of carbon-based crystalline fibers. These fibers are bundled together, then either woven together into a fabric or used directly to reinforce a polymer matrix. In either case, carbon fibers are usually used as part of a composite, which combines the carbon fibers with resin. Bonding carbon fibers with resin creates a strong, stiff composite that can replace metal in many industrial settings. Carbon fiber composites can have twice the strength of steel at just 25% of its weight, so they are excellent alternatives in automotive, aerospace, and other weight-sensitive applications.
What is carbon fiber prepreg?
Carbon fiber prepreg(Preimpregnated Materials) is a combination of epoxy resin and carbon fiber under high pressure and high temperature technology. The composite material made of carbon fiber yarn, epoxy resin, release paper and other materials through coating, hot pressing, cooling, film coating, coiling and other processes is called carbon fiber prepreg, also known as carbon fiber prepreg.The reason why it is called prepreg is because this is only the initial impregnation of resin and carbon fiber, which is not the final impregnation when the product is formed. In another word, prepregs are reinforcement materials that have been pre-impregnated with either a thermoplastic or thermoset resin, hence the name prepreg.
