Carbon Composites

Carbon composites are made from a combination of a plastic and carbon. Epoxy is commonly used in producing carbon composites, such as graphite epoxy. There are many advantages to using carbon composites over competing materials that you should consider.

If you are using carbon fiber cloth for crafting carbon composites, it is important to carefully examine the cloth. The weave of the carbon cloth will affect the strength of the carbon composites, as well as their rigidity. The process of constructing the carbon composites can be altered if cost is more of a concern than the rigidity of the composites.

Ongoing Research in Carbon Composites

Ongoing research continues to affect the ways in which carbon composites can be constructed. In the past, the use of carbon composites was limited due to the amount of manual work required, which can increase the cost of developing the composite. Some manufacturers have considered using an alternative to epoxy, such as nylon, to make construction more cost efficient.

If you have a design that you believe can be made as a carbon composite but have had difficulty locating the right manufacturer, we at Concept Sales Inc. can assist you. Our background in engineering and manufacturing has helped us build connections with many manufacturers, and we can assist you in choosing the one that is best for your project.
