PHYSICS 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Carbonization, Unreal Engine, Newtonian Fluid
Document Summary
What are filaments and rovings, how is roving size given (unit) Material types for matrix, name 3 most used ones, their characteristics (also sketch structure), pros and cons. Pros and cons of thermoset and thermoplastic prepregs. Definition carbon fiber, how is high strength obtained (2 reasons) Manufacturing process of precursor, which material (full name) Which types for this process step do exist. Which raw materials do exist, practical carbon yield, most important one, which ones sustainable. One main difference of spinning types of precursor, what is spinning crucial for. What types of defects, what is their ultimate effect/outcome. Most significant difference between pan & pitch based fibers and the reason/explanation. Diagram strength vs modulus and mark different fiber types + example application areas. Link fiber types in diagram to different precursor materials. Ranges of density, strength, modulus of cf and other fiber materials (next chapters)
