Session Information

Carbon composites are materials composed of carbon fibres and matrix phases (such as coke, sintered carbon and graphite). Similar to polymer matrix laminates, the tailored arrangement of carbon fibres in selected orientations within a continuous carbon matrix is used to achieved the desired properties. The fibre architectures include unidirectional, bidirectional, three-dimensional orthogonal weaves, or multi-directional weaves and braids. Carbon composites are characterized by their excellent mechanical properties including high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, low CTE, excellent fracture toughness and high friction/wear resistance, making them the most preferred material for structural application of aircrafts.
