In using Eq. (6.10) to predict / , of a given composite system it is important that the said failure mechanisms all exist. If any one mechanism is apparently absent the corresponding toughness term must be excluded from the / t equation. It is also worth emphasizing that / , varies linearly with reciprocal of the frictional shear strength of the interface, i.e. l/tf, with the lower limit of (1 — Ff)/fm when if approaches infinity. This relationship has been shown to apply to many carbon fiber polymer matrix composites (CFRPs) (Harris et al., 1971 Beaumont and Phillips,...

Carbon fiber/polymer matrix composites are extensively used in sporting goods and recreational applications. This is the second most important field of applications for carbon fibers. It has been largely responsible for the rapid growth of carbon fiber production during the last two decades and hence for the decrease in fiber prices [12-13]. 

Carbon fiber has been found to be an effective thermistor [192-194], such as a cement paste reinforced with chopped carbon fiber (about 5 mm long) with silica fume (15 wt% cement). Its electrical resistivity decreased reversibly with increasing temperature (1-45°C), with activation energy of electrical conduction (electron hopping) of 0.4 eV. This value is comparable to semiconductors (typical thermistor materials) and is higher than that of carbon fiber polymer matrix composites. The current-voltage characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced silica fume cement paste were linear up to 8 V at 20°C.

Applied Sciences, Inc. has, in the past few years, used the fixed catalyst fiber to fabricate and analyze VGCF-reinforced composites which could be candidate materials for thermal management substrates in high density, high power electronic devices and space power system radiator fins and high performance applications such as plasma facing components in experimental nuclear fusion reactors. These composites include carbon/carbon (CC) composites, polymer matrix composites, and metal matrix composites (MMC). Measurements have been made of thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), tensile strength, and tensile modulus. Representative results are described below.
