Maximum 200 words) The main goals of this research program at UTSI were: 1) to produce low cost carbon fibers and 2) to develop specific carbonbased material technologies to meet current and future high performance fiber-reinforced composite needs of FTA and other organizations. UTSI has been carrying out the relevant research programs since it received the carbon fiber spinning technologies an...

Thermal conductivity enhancement of carbon fiber composites

The effective thermal conductivity enhancement of carbon fiber composites is investigated in this contribution using a three-dimensional numerical method. First a more realistic three-dimensional distribution of fibers dispersed in a matrix phase is reproduced by a developed random generation-growth method to eliminate the overrated inter-fiber contacts by the two-dimensional simulations. The e...
