Steel and other hard building materials have revolutionised the field of industry. Now, a stage has come that there is a need for a better material to catch up with the growing needs and demands of modern society. This need has bought a new material to the field that is now known as Carbon Fibres.
Carbon fibre is one of the most recent reinforcement materials used in composites. It is a real material of high technology, that provides very good structural properties, better than those of any metal. Carbon fibre has a tensile strength nearly 3 times that of steel, but is 4.5 times less dense. Carbon fibres are carbon fibres with values of the Young's modulus between 150 and 275 to 300 GPa.
When you go to a sports store that are flooded with new "graphite" materials for sports equipment: golf clubs, tennis rackets, bicycles (frames and wheel discs), ultra lightweight fuselages feature these new lightweight materials . But, we are also familiar with graphite as a very common and mundane substance. Graphite has long been a component of lead pencil, and is used as a basic lubricant. It can used mechanical pencils knows that the cables break too easily to provide a strong frame. It would seem that there are two different types of graphite. In fact, this is true. When marketers sell "graphite fibre" products they often sell a "carbon fibre" product. The correct name of the fibres used in all reinforcement and reinforcement applications are the carbon fibres. But, there is more in history than a general error about the term "graphite fibres". Surprisingly, if you look at a small section of graphite and carbon fibres at the atomic level they appear to be identical.
