DIAMOND FIBER, WHEN A HIGHLY-GRAPHITIC CORE FIBER OF 1 TO 5 MICRONS HAS A DIAMOND COATING OF 2 TO 10 MICRONS, IS A HYBRID FIBER WITH PREDOMINATELY DIAMOND PROPERTIES. THIS ENABLES TAILORING OF FIBER C ...

MUCH OF THE COST OF ADVANCED COMPOSITES IS DUE TO FIBER HANDLING AND CONSOLIDATION. THESE "FIBER PLACEMENT" COSTS RISE AS THE SHAPE OF THE COMPONENT BECOMES MORE COMPLEX AND AS THE NUMBER OF REINFORCE ...

A NEED EXISTS FOR COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENTS WHICH HAVE ENHANCED AND COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH, WHILE RETAINING GOOD TENSILE STRENGTH AND MODULUS. THIS EFFORT EXPLORES A METHOD OF FIBER COATING WHICH ALLOWS ...
