Furness s later research included the development of a process to make carbon fibres on an industrial scale for the Royal Aircraft Establishment. She progressed to become Section Leader, responsible for 100 graduate researchers. Her final appointment was Director and General Manager of the Courtaulds factory at Campsie, Northern Ireland, in 1978, from which she retired in 1981. She died on 8 June 2002, aged 81 years.

Initial modern carbon fiber development occurred during 1944-1960 in the research and development Materials Laboratory of the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), Dayton, OH, USA. The UK Royal Aircraft Establishment developed carbon fiber-RPs in the late 1950s. During this period carbon fiber produced from cotton and viscose rayon fabrics were principally used in military applications such as rocket nozzle cones and ablative surface panels on outer space vehicles (other fibers were also used). Barnaby-Cheney and National Carbon manufactured a small amount of carbon fiber from these fibers.
