2. COMPOSITE MATERIALS
 Composite = Something made up of
distinct parts(or constituents).
 A materials system composed of suitably
arranged mixture or combination of two
or more micro- or macro constituents with
an interface separating them that differ in
form and chemical composition and are
essentially insoluble in each other.

3. What is Carbon Fiber ?
 Composed of carbon atoms bonded
together to form a long chain.
 A super strong material that's also
extremely lightweight.
 Five times stronger than steel , Two times
stiffer , and about Two-Third times less in
weight.

4. Carbon Fiber
 Thin strands of carbon- even thinner than
human hair.
 Strands can be twisted together, like yarn-
can be woven together, like cloth
extremely lightweight.

5. Properties
 Carbon fiber has very high tensile
strength.
 It has low thermal expansion.
 It is a light weight material having low
density.
 It is a good conductor of electricity.
 It can wear a high resistance.

6. ADVANTAGES
 It has long working life.
 It’s density is less than density of steel.
 It is insensitive to change in temperature.
 It’s properties is much better than any of
the other metals.
 It’s compressive strength is greater than
all the reinforcing material.

7. DISADVANTAGE
 It is very costly.
 It is little bit harmful for the human body
as it cause some form of cancer of the
lungs.

8. APPLICATIONS
 It is mostly used in the aerospace and
aircraft industries.

9.  It is used in making sports equipment
such as light weight badminton rackets,
golf stick etc.

10.  Automotive body is also made up of the
carbon fiber.

11.  It is also used in civil engineering

12.  Constructing up of wind mill blades.

13.  It is used for building and construction
material.
 Rechargeable battries and fuel cell
electrodes.
 Portable powers.

15.  May 9th 2010, Former President Dr A P J
Abdul Kalam inaugurated the country's first
carbon fibre manufacturing facility. The Rs
250-crore set up will produce lightweight
material for use in defence, aerospace and
infrastructure — under technology transfer
from the Council of Scientific and Industrial
Research's (CSIR) National Aerospace
Laboratory (NAL), which had developed the
ultra-light material for the Light Combat
Aircraft.
