Corrosion creep and fatigue

CNF is an industrially produced derivative of carbon formed by the decomposition and graphitization of rich organic carbon polymers (Fig. 14.3). The most common precursor is polyacrylonitrile (PAN), as it yields high tensile and compressive strength fibers that have high resistance to corrosion, creep and fatigue. For these reasons, the fibers are widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries [1], Carbon fiber is an important ingredient of carbon composite materials, which are used in fuel cell construction, particularly in gas-diffusion layers where the fibers are woven to form a type of carbon cloth.
