Toray has developed a new type of carbon fibre that is 30% stronger than previous products.Even if the use of carbon fiber can be reduced, it can maintain the performance of formed parts and reduce the weight of aircraft.Toray will first promote the product's use on golf equipment and drones, aiming to be used on aircraft by the second half of 2020.
It is difficult to balance the strength and elastic modulus of carbon fiber. Compared with previous products, the new carbon fiber has improved tensile strength while maintaining a high elastic modulus.
The new carbon fiber has an elastic modulus of 377GPa and a tensile strength of 5.7 GPa.Some analysts believe this is the first time in the world to mass produce at this level, and the two functions of carbon fiber.
