• Abstract:
  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 ; and accessories as a donation from ConocoPhillips. Under this DoT sponsored program, significant progress has been made in ; continued development and refinement of the low-cost carbon fiber production and composite application technologies. The task ; at hand is a major multidisciplinary effort and will need to be continued to reach successful completion and for continuous ; improvements. The webpage of the UTSI carbon fiber program is on line. The content of this site is regularly updated, with the ; latest major progresses and accomplishments at (http://www.utsi.edu/research/carbonfiber/index.htm).
