Low cost carbon fiber technology development for carbon fiber composite applications
The main goals of this research program at UTSI were: (1) to produce low cost carbon fibers, and (2) to develop specific carbon-based material technologies to meet current and future high performance fiber-reinforced composite needs of FTA and other organizations. UTSI has been carrying out the relevant research programs since it received the carbon fiber spinning technologies and accessories as a donation from ConocoPhillips. Under this DOT sponsored program, significant progress has been made in continued development and refinement of the low-cost carbon fiber production and composite application technologies. The task at hand is a major multidisciplinary effort and will need to be continued to reach successful completion and for continuous improvements
