Dab tsi yog feem ntau hu ua "carbon fiber" hauv qhov tseeb Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP), cov khoom sib xyaw feem ntau yog tsim los ntawm epoxy-impregnated daim ntawv ntawm woven carbon-filament daim ntaub uas yog txheej, tsim rau hauv pwm, thiab tom qab ntawd kho hauv ib lub kiln nyob rau hauv lub tshuab nqus tsev. Cov khoom ua los ntawm cov khoom uas tau los ntawm cov txheej txheem no yog qhov hnyav heev, thiab nruj heev nrog lub zog zoo-rau-hnyav piv.
Tus neeg fibers nyob rau hauv niaj hnub carbon fibers feem ntau yog tsim los ntawm roj av byproducts, nrog rau kev loj hlob ntawm ntshiab, crystalline carbon fibers ua li cas cov khoom matured thiab tom qab industrialized. Thawj synthesized thoob plaws hauv lub lig 19ththiab ntxov 20thNtau pua xyoo, suav nrog Thomas Edison siv los ua lub teeb filaments, cov kev sim thaum ntxov no ua tsis tiav vim lawv tsis muaj purity tsawg. Nws tsis yog txog thaum xyoo 1960 thaum Japanese thiab American chemists tau tsim cov fibers ntawm qhov tsim nyog purity los siv los ua kev txhawb zog hauv cov khoom sib xyaw.
Tom qab kev nqis peev ntau los ntawm Royal Aircraft Tsim, ib feem ntawm British Ministry of Defense, thawj cov khoom lag luam tsim cov pa roj carbon monoxide tuaj nrog kev sib koom ua ke ntawm carbon composite compressor kiv cua sib dhos hauv Rolls-Royce Conway thiab RB-211 dav hlau cav nyob rau hauv lig 1960s. Los ntawm xyoo 1970, cov khoom siv tau zoo ntxiv nrog kev txhim kho ntawm cov filaments thiab adhesives, thiab thaum ntxov xyoo 1980s motorsports tau dhau los ua lwm qhov kev sim rau cov khoom siv carbon.
Rolls Royce Conway lub dav hlau dav hlau tau tsim los rau Vickers VC -10 Airliner
Taw qhia rau xyoo 1981 Formula 1 kev sib tw, McLaren MP4/1 yog lub tsheb sib tw thaum ntxov nrog cov pa roj carbon monoxide tag nrho. Zoo ib yam li qhov ua tau zoo ntawm aerospace, motorsports tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm kev sib xyaw ua ke los ntawm kev ua kom qhov hnyav txo tsis muaj lub zog thiab nruj, ua kom McLaren muaj kev sib tw, thiab ua ntej ntev carbon composites tau nthuav dav hauv txhua hom kev sib tw.
Los ntawm xyoo 1990, kev tsim cov pa roj carbon ntau dua tuaj yeem ua tau, pab txo qhov hnyav hauv Boeing airliner tshiab, 777. Lub 777 yog qhov tseem ceeb hauv kev qhia cov khoom sib xyaw loj rau aerospace, nrog lub dav hlau yog 9% carbon composites los ntawm qhov hnyav, siv nyob rau hauv lub rear fuselage, cav cowlings, tswj chaw, thiab pem teb beams. Ntxiv nrog rau kev txuag qhov hnyav, cov khoom sib xyaw tshiab no yog corrosion thiab qaug zog tiv taus, uas tau pab txuag kev txij nkawm dua qub kev lag luam-tus qauv txhuas.
Xyoo 2007, Boeing tau qhia txog kev hloov pauv ntawm 787 Dreamliner uas pom kev siv cov khoom sib xyaw ua ke, tam sim no nce mus txog 50% los ntawm qhov hnyav. Vim Boeing lub peev xwm los tsim cov pa roj carbon loj loj, lub fuselage ntawm 787 yog tsim los ntawm peb qhov loj ib leeg-ntev seem uas tau sib xyaw ua ke thaum sib dhos. Tsis tas li ntawd, cov tis ntawm 787 feem ntau yog tsim los ntawm cov khoom sib xyaw, nrog rau cov ntaub ntawv ductility qiv rau lub dav hlau iconic tis flex.
