Carbon Fiber Composites Volume II

<p>Many efforts have been made to create light-weight materials that maintain excellent physical and chemical properties aiming at energy savings and property enhancement for aerospace automotive marine and industrial applications over the past few decades. Among them carbon fibers and their composites have attracted significant attention because of their unique properties including high strength and modulus novel dimensional stability high surface area/volume ratios low coefficient of thermal expansion etc. Therefore they have been widely applied in fields of energy storage filtration aircraft etc. via advanced manufacturing technologies (i.e. wet/melt spinning solution casting 3D printing etc.). The main aim of this Special Issue is to tackle the points mentioned above for the preparation characterization and properties of advanced carbon fibers and their composites to offer an insight into them facilitating their practical applications in various fields.</p>
