Recently Carbon Fiber composites are used for various parts for general industrial machinery.
Usage of high elastic modulus Carbon Fibers to make Composite rollers has been also growing with the rigidity equivalent of steel achieving significant weight saving.
Ultra high elastic modulus Carbon Fibers are adopted to semiconductor industries needing lightness in weight and ultra-high stiffness for making large-scaled liquid crystal panels.
The increased resistance against wear and tear by adding Carbon Fibers increases the use of such
plastic compounds for shafts bearings etc...
In this way, potentiality of Carbon Fibers is
expanding by means of compounding with various resins, ranging from general-purpose resins to
engineering resins.
