Carbon Fibers

Precursors are chosen to be materials that metamorphose into graphite-like structures. Spinning is designed to orient the graphite-like molecular structure of the fiber parallel with the fiber axis. This results in the orientation of strong covalent molecular bonds along the axis of the fiber where stress is applied.

In general, the degree of heat treatment applied to a given fiber affects its mechanical properties by promoting the development of the fiber's inherent graphite-like structure, which has significant mechanical strength. Asbury Graphite has both PAN (polyacrylonitrile) and Pitch based fibers available in chopped and milled form. Various types of sizing are also available to provide the right fiber surface configuration for your system.
