“…A fiber price of less than 10 € kg −1 is considered by many experts as a turning point for the mass production of carbon fibers and their composites in mass markets [12][13][14]. Only three classes of precursor material have been developed for the commercial production of carbon fibers [6,15,16]. Even though rayon-based carbon fibers were the first to be produced, they were replaced by polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-and pitch-based carbon fibers that possess higher mechanical properties.…”

Carbon fibers and their composites have attracted much attention in recent years and are being used in an increasing number of industries. However, due to the high production costs of carbon fibers and the complex manufacturing process of composites, their use in large series applications is still limited. The main cost driver in carbon fiber manufacturing is the production of the precursor fiber, with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) being the prevailing feedstock today. Approximately 50% of the production cost of carbon fibers is related to the precursor fiber. For this reason, the use of a new precursor material offers enormous cost-saving potential.Polyethylene (PE) is a promising alternative to PAN due to its high carbon content, low cost, high availability, and melt processability. This study reviews the research and development activities on PE-based carbon fibers. The manufacturing of the precursor fiber and its conversion process into a carbon fiber are discussed. The review also provides an overview of published information on concepts for commercial production of PE-based carbon fibers and various cost models.

“…The British physicist, chemist and inventor Sir Joseph Wilson Swan was responsible for giving birth to the carbon fiber industry in the 1860s when he utilized a form of carbonized paper as a filament in the early development of incandescent light bulbs (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2018). Research concerning carbon fiber materials accelerated through the 1950s and 1960s producing the discovery of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fiber by Akino Shindo while working at the Government Industrial Research Institute, Osaka, Japan (GIRIO) (Nakamura et al, 2009). PAN based carbon fibers are generally preferred over pitch or rayon-based alternatives due to their relatively cost-effective manufacture and superior mechanical properties (McConnell, 2008;Naito et al, 2009).…”

Recent Developments in Graphene Oxide/Epoxy Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Composites

2019

The two-dimensional macro molecule graphene and its derivatives have widely been investigated for their application as nanofiller in carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRC). Research has progressed from techniques that disperse graphene as a mixing constituent within the composite material to more complex examples where graphene is covalently bonded to fiber, matrix or both via multiple reaction steps. This field of research is multidisciplinary whereby branches of materials, engineering, polymer science, physics and chemistry often overlap. From the materials engineering perspective, the desire is to discover the novel materials targeting industrial applications and obtain a full understanding of the graphene oxide chemistry and interaction of graphene oxide with a polymer matrix. To date, most of the research is targeted at (i) improving the fiber/matrix interface properties and/or (ii) improving the dispersion of nanofiller within the matrix; both factors ultimately improve composite performance. Organizing that information critically can lead to emergence of a generalization of material design. Therefore, the objective of this work is to critically review current state of art in the field of graphene oxide/epoxy CFRCs and propose the design rules based on current scientific trend and common themes for future works.

“…3 In addition, the fibers have conductivity 4 at a high performance level. 5 Based on these characteristics, 6 since the 1960s the development of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) has resulted in the fabrication of excellent materials that are lightweight and strong. 7 The materials produced when fibers are added to plastics also have the property of electromagnetic shielding.…”

Voltammetric Detection of Biological Molecules Using Chopped Carbon Fiber

2010

Voltammetric detection of biological molecules was carried out using chopped carbon fibers produced from carbon fiber reinforced plastics that are biocompatible and inexpensive. Because chopped carbon fibers normally are covered with a sizing agent, they are difficult to use as an electrode. However, when the surface of a chopped carbon fiber was treated with ethanol and hydrochloric acid, it became conductive. To evaluate the functioning of chopped carbon fibers, voltammetric measurements of [Fe(CN)6] 3-were carried out. Redoxes of FAD, ascorbic acid and NADH as biomolecules were recorded using cyclic voltammetry. The sizing agents used to bundle the fibers were epoxy, polyamide and polyurethane resins. The peak currents were the greatest when using the chopped carbon fibers that were created with epoxy resins. When the electrode response of the chopped carbon fibers was compared with that of a glassy carbon electrode, the peak currents and the reversibility of the electrode reaction were sufficient. Therefore, the chopped carbon fibers will be useful as disposable electrodes for the sensing of biomolecules.
