The scientific name of carbon fiber is called "polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber", which is a conforming material made of carbon fiber and related matrix resin (such as epoxy resin). Carbon fiber is a special kind of fiber mainly composed of carbon elements, and its carbon content varies with different types, generally more than 90%.
Carbon fiber has the characteristics of general carbon materials, such as high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, heat conduction and corrosion resistance, etc. However, unlike general carbon materials, its shape is significantly anisotropic, soft, and can be processed into various The fabric exhibits high strength along the fiber axis. Carbon fiber has a small specific gravity, so it has a high specific strength.
