Carbon Fiber

Researchers created carbon-fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites using red mud and ore tailings, achieving electromagnetic shielding effectiveness up to 33.5 decibels in the X-band frequency range.

The Advanced Carbons Council calls for a U.S. carbon materials innovation platform focused on standards, testing and buyer qualification. The paper links engineered-carbon supply chains to manufacturing, energy, defense and AI infrastructure. Serves as a model for governments world-wide.

Researchers have developed a new interface that improves the interlaminar strength of carbon fibre/epoxy composites, as reported in Progress in Organic Coatings.

A team of University of Central Florida graduates has developed a method to convert seaweed into coatings for carbon fiber and metals at their Lake Nona materials lab. This innovation could enhance the sustainability and functionality of carbon fiber composites used in various industries.
