UNIDIRECTIONAL 12k CARBON FIBER CLOTH
Among all the composite materials, thermoset composites are the most used for structural applications. They are commonly designed in different configurations (with 12k uni- directional fiber or fabrics) and with different reinforcements, mainly glass fiber or carbon fiber, to achieve the mechanical properties required by the specific structural application. Their use in the automotive sector is rapidly increasing, especially for electric vehicles, and they are widely used in the aerospace sector. Although these materials can reduce weight and emissions,there are many concerns about their full sustainability, because thermoset resins are not fully recyclable and are mainly petrol based. The manufacturing process of therm…
