Abstract:The objective of this project was to further develop low cost carbon fiber for a variety of potential applications. Manufacturing feasi-bility of low cost carbon fibers/composites has been demonstrated. A number of technologies that are currently using other synthetic fibers may use high strength lightweight and low cost carbon fibers to reduce weight and improve performance. New applications that are in the nation’s interest may also be developed. Production of lightweight automobiles, buses, trains, and ships, including light-weight select body panels, load bearing structures, and other transportation system components, could result in major weight savings and result in significant reduction in the energy used.
