Carbons filament wound

Epoxide resin laminates are of particular importance in the aircraft industry. It has been stated that the Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft use 1800 kg of carbon fibre/ epoxide resin composites for structural purposes per aeroplane. The resin has also been used with Aramid fibres for filament-wound rocket motors and pressure vessels. The AV-18 fighter aircraft is also said to be 18% epoxide resin/cc bon fibre composite. The resins are also widely used both with fibres and with honeycomb structures for such parts as helicopter blades. 

Properties of Composite Fiber/Matrix Systems. The volume fraction of fibers in most filament-wound structures and in laid-up composite layers can exceed 60 percent. For carbon fibers at this volume fraction, the composite has such a high absorption coefficient that it can be treated as opaque [251] however, for glass-epoxy composites, the absorption coefficient is small enough, particularly in some spectral windows, that radiation must be treated as a volumetric effect. The situation is complicated by the high fiber volume fraction, which causes the fiber absorption and scattering to be in the dependent regime however, some data are presented in Ref. 251. 

Business aircraft made from RPs include the mainly glass fiber Chichester Miles Leopard (UK) and the Raytheon Permier 1 six-seater, notable for a largely filament-wound carbon-epoxy/honeycomb/ carbon-epoxy fuselage. A hybrid light jet aircraft was developed in the... 

From its founding, ABC had made ultra-light bike frames using hand-wound carbon filament composite constmction. It was an expensive, but... 

A carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) preform is made using two-dimensional (2-D) fiber fabrics (cut fibers and filament-wound or braided preforms or high- carbon-yield precursors). 

Filament wound carbon composites have also been developed. In this case the desired shape is, as the name implies, wound using carbon fibers onto a suitable mandrel. The fibers are bonded using an epoxy type or thermoset resin. The bonding of the matrix to the fibers and direction of...

Tests on plastics in deep water have been extremely encouraging. Low-carbon steel corroded at a rate one-third greater than in surface waters. Filament-wound reinforced plastic cylinders and PVC buoys retained their strength. PVC washers and the silicone sealing compound used in steel-to-aluminum joints helped prevent corrosion. 

The central thrust structure is, typically, a filament-wound, carbon fibre/epoxy construction. The side walls and floors comprise flat, bonded aluminium sandwich structures often incorporating other components. These are fastened to the central thrust structure by a combination of adhesively bonded and mechanically fastened... 

In a design permitting unsuitable metals, they may be replaced with next-generation filament-wound composites (e.g. continuous), glass, graphite, boron, beryUium, titanium alloy, steel, carbon, silicone filament, or strip unidirectional, bidirectional, multi-directional (see Figure 9.50).
