In this article, the preparation and properties of typical high performance fibers are discussed, then their applications are classified and detailed. The principal classes of high performance fibers are derived from rigid-rod polymers (qv), gel-spun fibers, modified carbon fibers (qv), carbon-nanotube composite fibers, ceramic fibers, and synthetic vitreous fibers.

In this book, an internationally known team of researchers publish state-of-the-art results that detail the application of synthetic, petroleum-based polymers in the form of carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes and fibers, and micro- and nanofibrils as reinforcements for polymer composites. These organic materials are distinct from polymer composites with mineral reinforcement due to specific mechanical properties that allow the manufacture of lightweight products, of particular importance in aircrafts and transportation vehicles.

Nanocomposite describes a two-phase material where one of the phases has at least one dimension in the nanometer range (1-100 nm). They differ from conventional composites by the exceptionally high surface-to-volume ratio of the reinforcing phase and/ or its exceptionally high aspect ratio. The reinforcing material can be made up of particles (e.g., minerals), sheets (e.g., exfoliated clay stacks) or fibers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, electrospun fibers or cellulose nanofibers). Large reinforcement surface area means that a relatively small amount of nanoscale reinforcement can have an observable effect on the macroscale properties of the composite. There has been enormous interest in the commercialization of nanocomposites for a variety of applications, and a number of...
