Carbon Fibers,
Abstract
In connection with development of missile construction, aircraft construction, mastery of space, and also other branches of technology arose acute need for high temperature (oxidation resistant) fibrous materials, reinforced plastics on basis of which were intended for exploitation at high temperatures. Common natural and synthetic fibers, including thermoresistant, could not satisfy these requirements. As a result of intensive investigations, carried out for latter by decade are developed methods of obtaining large number of high temperature (oxidation resistant) fibers different in properties, predominantly on basis of inorganic compounds. To the important of them relate carbon, boric, carbide, metallic, on the basis of oxides of the elements and some other compounds. Filamentary crystals (whisker) occupy special position in view of unique mechanical properties. This group of fibers is located on different level of technical development.
