Knot- and Loop Tensile Tests of Ultra High-Modulus Pitch-Based Carbon Fibers
Abstract
Increasingly Fibre Reinforced Plastics (FRP) replace metal materials e.g. because of their lightweight. Besides FRP have a low thermal conductivity (TC). Thus, applications like are limited because heat cannot conduct through FRP and causes damage to electrical components.The TC of FRP can be increased one order and more using pitch-based carbon fibres. Unfortunately the processing of these fibres is still a huge challenge because of the high fibre brittleness. The Institut für Textiltechnik of RWTH Aachen University, Germany, has developed technologies to process these fibres to enable the manufacturing of 3D preforms for new ways of lightweight engineering.
