Polyether fibers (PET)
Polyester fibers belong to the group of organic synthetic reinforcing fibers. Mainly these are used for textiles. Tensile strength is about the same as polyamide fibers but
Wood fiber
Wood fiber belongs to the group of naturally organic reinforcing fibers.
Wood flours used for reinforcing phenol formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde molding compounds are usually f
Polyethylene fiber
Polyethylene fiber belongs to the group of synthetic organic reinforcing fibers.
The PE fiber is made of highly stretched UHMW PE. Their melting point is about 150°C and they
Pan fiber
Polyacrylonitrile fiber belongs to the group of synthetic organic reinforcing fibers. PAN fiber is a high-strength fiber with a kidney-shaped cross-section. It is mainly used as a replac
Cellulose fiber
Cellulose fiber belongs to the group of organic reinforcing fibers. It is usually made of sulfite pulp from beech wood or pure cotton cellulose.
In the early days of fiber compos
Aramid fibers (Kevlar) are linear, organic polymers with high strength and stiffness. Like the C-fiber, the aramid fiber exhibits a negative coefficient of thermal expansion due to its high molecul
Carbon or C-fibers consist of over 90% pure carbon and have a diameter of 5-10 micrometers. PAN (polyacrylonitrile fibers), pitch or cellulose are usually used as feedstock.
