Currently, most carbon fiber products are made out of what are technically known as carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs). There are in turn two types of CFRPs: thermoset and thermoplastic.

Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthening represents a transformative approach in the retrofit and augmentation of steel structures. By externally applying high‐performance composite ...

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite structures are serving an increasingly important role in aerospace, infrastructure, energy generation, and transportation. Yet, the electrical behavior of ...

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) have been used for a long time to restore supporting structures that are struggling to carry their load. Bridges built between the mid-1960s to 1980s, for ...

Carbon fiber is a type of composite in which strands of pure carbon are embedded in a polymer matrix. The challenge is that the matrix polymer does not cling strongly enough to the carbon fiber, ...

There are different types of carbon-fiber. The most commonly used in body tuning components is carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), also known as wet carbon, which is made in the same manner as ...

Talgo, the Spanish rolling stock manufacturer, has developed a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) prototype of its proprietary rodal bogies, those little frames that house the axles and wheels.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites — also called carbon-fiber laminates — are the next-generation materials for making cars lighter, more fuel efficient and safer.
