The next BMW 7 Series, said to be arriving in 2015, will reportedly use more CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) in its build. In two interviews R&D head Dr. Klaus Draeger said the big sedan ...

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are lighter and stronger than metal and are used in a variety of industries, including aviation, aerospace, automotive, marine, and sporting goods.

Several patents by the University of Cukurova highlight a novel method for more easily forming microvascular channels in ...

CF is commonly used to create composites, in which case they are referred to as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Example SEM and TEM images of the released particles following the rupture ...

We now apply this approach to CFRP [carbon fiber-reinforced polymer], hypothesizing that it could achieve more efficient separation compared to current methods." The team's results show that this ...

A recent study published in Engineering delves into the behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC ...

but it gets credit as being the first mass-produced carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) wing on a production car. Rear wings on high performance vehicles are designed to counter lift.

The previous-generation model, with the 41Wh battery and CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced plastic) top cover, weighed in at just 1.12 kg (2.47 lbs), but the latest model is even lighter, starting at ...
