The Development Prospect Of Carbon Fiber: Carbon Fiber And Mask

As a special fiber made of carbon, carbon fiber in recent years, the development is very rapid. At the same time, by virtue of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, strong plasticity characteristics, carbon fiber in a variety of It is widely used in all occasions. And just recently carbon fiber and masks have been linked together.

According to the news published recently by the Science and Technology Daily, Israeli researchers have recently developed a reusable mask. The mask looks similar to the N95 mask. The difference is that the inner layer uses carbon fiber. Through contact with the mobile phone charger, the inner carbon fiber can be heated to 70 degrees Celsius to play a sterilizing role. The mask is currently applying for a patent.

Although it is still unknown whether such carbon fiber masks can actually enter the market to replace traditional masks, there is no shortage of new ideas for the development of carbon fiber. In fact, as an important direction of innovative materials, the development of carbon fiber has always attracted the attention of all walks of life. From small homes to large vehicles, carbon fiber has already entered our lives.

What is the appeal of carbon fiber and how can the technology be integrated into so many very different areas? The key to the problem may be in four areas - light weight, strength, corrosion resistance, and plasticity.

In other words, with proper operation, by blending with other materials or designing the structure, carbon fiber can simulate the users' In this regard, the use of carbon fibers in transportation may be one of the most promising aspects of carbon fiber development. Among them, the use of carbon fiber in transportation is perhaps one of the areas where the future of carbon fiber can be highlighted.

I believe that many people have heard of carbon fiber bicycles and carbon fiber car frames, but few people should have heard of carbon fiber subways. In fact, as early as the end of 2018, China and Germany had jointly developed carbon fiber subways, and achieved staged success. Compared with the traditional subway, this kind of carbon fiber subway also has obvious advantages-strong disaster resistance. 

Generally speaking, if the vehicle wants to be fast, lightweighting is an effective method, such as increasing the proportion of aluminum alloy in the body material. But at the same time, this weight reduction requires sacrificing the impact resistance and corrosion resistance of the car body. Carbon fiber makes up for this. In other words, while also satisfying light weight, carbon fiber brings greater body durability to the subway.

When it comes to the development of carbon fiber, related instruments are naturally often mentioned. With the gradual popularization of the use of carbon fiber in recent years, instruments related to carbon fiber have also gradually increased, some of which are new products using carbon fiber technology, and some are necessary equipment for carbon fiber research and development. Among them, the testing machine can be regarded as a prosecutor of new materials as an instrument to assist the development of carbon fiber and carbon fiber products. 

The traditional carbon fiber testing machine includes carbon fiber bonding strength testing equipment, monofilament carbon fiber tensile testing machine, etc. In addition, there are special mold temperature machines and tensiometers for carbon fiber presses used in the research and development of carbon fiber related equipment. These instruments are basically used to meet the physical and chemical characteristics of carbon fiber.

Finally, it should be mentioned that one more thing to consider about the future of carbon fiber development is the cost. For the time being, the cost of using carbon fiber is still a serious topic, how to reduce costs is also the development of carbon fiber One of the directions.
