Supply and demand: Advanced fibers
1/8/2009

Manufacturers of carbon and other advanced fibers respond to sustained composites industry growth with new fiber production capacity.

Fiber reinforcement forms
1/8/2009

Fibers used to reinforce composites are supplied directly by fiber manufacturers and indirectly by converters in a number of different forms, which vary depending on the application. Roving and tow. Roving is the simplest and most common form of glass.

The fiber
1/8/2009

The structural properties of composite materials are derived primarily from the fiber reinforcement. In a composite, the fiber contributes high tensile strength, enhancing properites in the final part, such as stregnth and stiffness while minimizing weight. Glass fibersThe vast majority of all fibers used in the composites industry are glass.
