With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the development of carbon fiber has also been very rapid in recent decades. Carbon fiber has been favored by people for its excellent properties such as high strength, lightweight, small thermal expansion coefficient, high elastic modulus, and corrosion resistance. But what is chopped carbon fiber? what is it used for? Is the performance as good?
Chopped carbon fiber refers to carbon fiber with high strength and high modulus, which is processed into bundles with a sizing agent selected according to the application, and then cut to a specified length. It is mainly used as a reinforcing material for thermoplastic resins. It is generally cut according to the standard length of 3mm 6mm 12mm, but powdered fibers are also available. To increase the reinforcing effect and ease of operation, Future provides products with special surface treatment according to conditions such as resin, application, and processing method.
Main fields of application of chopped carbon fibers:
1. Electric heating field: low conductivity, electric heating plate, conductive surface felt, needle felt, etc.;
2. Reinforced modified plastics: nylon (PA), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), phenolic (PF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyimide (PI), etc.;
3. Shielding materials: manufacture shielding smoke, shielding curtain walls, etc.;
4. Construction field: carbon fiber reinforced cement, conductive coating, anti-static ground, etc.;
5. Thermal insulation materials: carbon fiber reinforced refractory bricks and bricks, carbon fiber reinforced ceramics, etc.; new energy field: fuel cell electrodes, etc.
