CAN CARBON FIBER BE USED FOR CLOTHING?

Carbon Fiber Fabrics

• The use of carbon fibers has become quite popular
  in recent times. From tennis rackets to Formula1
  cars, and bicycle frames it is part of many
  products.  But are they part of clothing also?
  Yes, Carbon Fiber Fabrics are being made
  nowadays they are not part of the daily textile
  needs of consumers though.

• Carbon fiber is exceptionally lightweight but
  quite strong because it is derived from the
  element carbon. When it is combined with polymer
  resin, we get a super composite product known as
  graphite fiber or carbon fiber. Each fiber is
  five to ten microns in diameter.
• With its high tensile strength, it can be very
  much useful in manufacturing a long list of
  domestic and commercial products.

• Carbon is the basic building block of life, and
  it is the base of carbon fiber as well. This
  inert material is light, and it has phenomenal
  qualities of energy absorption. Due to its high
  strength and low weight, it is considered ideal
  for applications where the finished product needs
  to be lightweight yet sturdy.
• Carbon-based fibers are considered ideal for
  primary as well as secondary protective gears.
  They are clothes for situations where
  intermittent exposure to radiants or flames is
  possible. Primary protective gears are the
  clothes worn by firefighters who are exposed to
  radiant heat and flames.

• If you see textile terms and definitions, carbon
  fiber is a fiber that contains at least 90
  percent carbon obtained by the controlled
  pyrolysis of the appropriate type of fiber.
• Graphite fiber contains more than 99 percent
  carbon. Fibreglass fabric suppliers make
  different types of fibers for their clients.

Precursors of fibers

• Variations in carbon fibers are called
  precursors. They contain different morphologies
  and different characteristics. Amongst the most
  prevalent precursors are Cellulose fibers
  (viscose rayon, cotton), polyacrylonitrile (PAN),
  petroleum or coal tar pitch are phenolic fibers.

• When Carbon Fiber Manufacturers Ahmedabad makes
  fibers, either standard specification or custom,
  they ensure excellent quality of production. It
  is because the performance of carbon fiber
  largely depends on the quality of production.
• Spools of carbon fiber are taken to the main
  weaving loom. There, the fibers are woven into
  fabrics. Mainly, twill and plain weaves are
  popular.

8

• In the plain weave, a balanced checkerboard
  pattern is followed. Each strand goes under each
  strand in the opposite direction.
• In the twill weave, each strand goes over one
  opposite strand, then under two. Thus, it looks
  more like a wicker basket.
• These two types of weaving are aesthetically
  different only. As far as weaving is concerned,
  plain weaves have an equal amount of carbon fiber
  going in each direction. Their strength is also
  almost equal.

• Fiber manufacturers make high-quality Fiberglass
  cloth also. It is also widely used in various
  applications.
• As the usage of carbon fiber is increasing in
  specialized technology such as aerospace,
  nuclear, general engineering, and transportation
  the demand has also increased.
• Manufacturers are making top-class fibers that
  fulfill the needs of clients. Stringent quality
  measures are being applied to maintain
  consistency in quality and performance.
