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.

Recycled supercapacitors with carbon-fiber cathodes maintained performance comparable to original devices through initial fabrication and two recycling cycles.

A new technical guide details the use of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) for structural rehabilitation in pipeline repair, offering empirical data for design improvements.

CCIC and UNNC have introduced a recycled carbon fiber manufacturing platform at the SAMPE China 2026 Conference, addressing four major industry challenges including extreme energy use. This innovation is significant for the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sector as it promises to reduce costs and carbon emissions associated with production.

A study of 38 steel I-beam models assesses how unbonded carbon fibre reinforced polymer strengthening affects bending performance, varying CFRP thickness, elastic modulus and type.

Ohio State Waterproofing published a guide on June 22, 2026, comparing carbon fiber straps and steel beams for stabilizing bowed basement walls in Ohio homes, noting carbon fiber suits moderate bowing with a 30-year lifespan while steel beams handle severe deformation and can last over 50 years. The article reflects continued demand for carbon fiber reinforcement in residential construction, where its corrosion resistance and low-invasiveness position it as a practical alternative to steel in moisture-prone foundation repair.
