Carbon fibres are manufactured from rayon and polyacrylonitrile. Carbon fibres can be heated up to 1500°C and contains up to 95% of elemental carbon. Graphite fibres can be heated above 2500 C with 99% carbon. The formation of carbon fibres from polyacrylonitrile is outlined in Fig. 1 -34. Carbon fibres are used in the aerospace industry, in compressor blade to jet engines, helicopter rotor- blades, aircraft fuselage structures, golf-club shafts, cross-bows for archery and in high speed reciprocating parts in loom.
