What is “3D carbon fiber composite”
What is “4D carbon fiber composite” or “5D carbon fiber composite“?
Based on the existing information, the basic definition and characteristics of carbon fiber composites are as follows:
- Basic definition of carbon fiber composites
Carbon fiber composites are high-performance materials composed of carbon fiber and matrix materials such as resin, metal or ceramic, in which carbon fiber is used as a reinforcing phase, and the content is usually more than 90%. Carbon fiber itself has the characteristics of high strength, low density, and high temperature resistance. After being compounded with matrix materials, it can form a structural material with both lightweight and high performance.
2. Understanding of the “D” dimension
There is currently no unified standard for the definition of the “D” dimension in the scientific field, and there are different explanations in different research directions:
3D carbon fiber composites
Some materials understand “3D” as a three-dimensional structural design, which means optimizing the mechanical properties of materials in three-dimensional space by optimizing the weaving method of carbon fiber tows or the distribution of matrix materials. For example, by improving the 3D printing process, carbon fiber composites can have a more uniform mechanical distribution and higher impact resistance.
4D/5D carbon fiber composite materials
In these two types of materials, D represents the fiber direction! Rather than the three-dimensional spatial structure.
For example, 4D carbon fiber composites form 4 directions by adding a fiber direction on the plane direction, so we call it 4D carbon fiber composites;
5D carbon fiber composites form 5 directions by adding 2 fiber directions on the plane direction, so we call it 5D carbon fiber composites;
