Developing the production of carbon fibres and glass fibres
Despite the excellent reinforcing effect, the use of carbon fibres has not increased as expected
at the expected rate. Therefore, improvements in this area are aimed at lower production costs
lower production costs. The same is also true for the recycling of carbon fibres. Continuous improvement
glass fibres are also being developed. A new glass fibre is also a competitor to carbon fibre, since its tensile strength
similar, but the electrical and thermal insulation properties of products reinforced with it are
glass fibre products. The performance of reinforced plastics is
matrix polymer and the coupling agents that enhance the adhesion between the reinforcing fibre and the
additives, which are being continuously developed by additive companies.
