Carbon: what Materials and Processes for the Future?

Carbon: what Materials & Processes for the Future?

The production and use of carbon fibre still offer many opportunities for improvement and cost reduction. The potential volumes required for H2 storage and transportation applications are enormous. From raw materials to real life, how can we improve these already incredible fibres? Through new precursors, new processes, new surface treatments, and new dimensions, for existing and new applications.
