Usage of chopped Carbon Fibers to make composite with other resins such as nylon or polycarbonate is growing too in order to get higher performances. Carbon Fibers added to resins by 10-60% makes it possible to reduce weight of plastic parts or to reduce their thickness because of its superior mechanical performances.
And the electric conductivity of Carbon Fibers makes it possible to give such additional performance to plastic material as to preventing static load and to shielding from electromagnetic interferences. These performances of plastic compounds containing Carbon Fibers are contributing to reduction of weight of housing of electronics equipment such as notebook PCs and LCD projectors as well as of camera bodies and lenses.
