PC CF40 is made of polycarbonate and 40% carbon fiber, combining polycarbonate’s toughness with carbon fiber’s high strength, resulting in exceptional mechanical properties, offering superior tensile strength, rigidity, and impact resistance while being lighter than metals. It also features good heat resistance and dimensional stability.
PC CF40 is a high-performance composite material primarily composed of polycarbonate (PC) and 40% carbon fiber (CF). Its material properties combine the excellent toughness of polycarbonate with the high strength of carbon fiber, making it outstanding in various applications.
Material Composition: The main components of PC CF40% are polycarbonate resin and carbon fiber. Polycarbonate is known for its excellent impact resistance and transparency, while carbon fiber is renowned for its high strength and light weight. In 40% CF PC resins, 40% carbon fiber is distributed as reinforcement filler within the polycarbonate matrix, significantly enhancing the material’s mechanical properties.
Performance Characteristics: The key features of PC + CF40 include its exceptionally high mechanical strength and rigidity. This composite material offers superior tensile strength and bending resistance. Compared to pure polycarbonate, its impact resistance is also improved. Additionally, the inclusion of carbon fiber notably reduces the material’s density, making it lighter than traditional metals while maintaining higher strength. PC CF40 also has good heat resistance and dimensional stability, retaining its physical properties at higher temperatures.
PC CF40 composite material is widely used in aerospace, automotive industries, and high-end electronic devices due to its excellent mechanical performance and lightweight characteristics.
In the current era with an unremitting pursuit of high performance and lightweight, 40% carbon fiber filled polycarbonate composites have demonstrated remarkable performance, bringing revolutionary breakthroughs to numerous fields.
PC CF40, meticulously developed by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material, possesses remarkable high strength and outstanding high-temperature resistance. A renowned aerospace enterprise has applied it in the manufacturing of key components of aircraft engines. Previously used traditional materials often tended to experience performance deterioration and aging when exposed to high temperatures and high pressures. However, this composite material, with its ultra-high strength, can effortlessly withstand extremely harsh working conditions, significantly enhancing the reliability and safety of the engines. For instance, during a long-distance intercontinental flight, the aircraft encountered extremely severe weather conditions, causing the temperature inside the engine to suddenly and sharply rise. But fortunately, due to the adoption of this new type of composite material, the key components of the engine were still able to operate stably and efficiently, ultimately ensuring the safe and smooth arrival of the flight.
At the same time, the significant feature of lightweight of this material has also made it shine brilliantly in the highly competitive automotive manufacturing field. A manufacturer leading the development trend of new energy vehicles has resolutely chosen to adopt 40% carbon fiber filled polycarbonate (PC CF40) composites to meticulously build the vehicle body structure. This wise decision not only successfully reduced the overall weight of the vehicle, significantly increasing the vehicle’s cruising range, but also greatly enhanced the anti-collision performance of the vehicle body. In an authoritative and strict crash test, the vehicle demonstrated unimaginable impact resistance. Even in the face of a huge impact force, the vehicle body was still able to maintain the integrity of the structure, effectively protecting the safety of passengers inside the vehicle, providing a rock-solid safety guarantee for drivers and passengers.
Undoubtedly, with the continuous progress and innovation of science and technology, this composite material will surely play a crucial role in a wider range of fields, creating a more beautiful, convenient and safe future for humanity.

What are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites are materials where carbon fibers are incorporated into a thermoplastic matrix. They combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the processability and recyclability of thermoplastics. For instance, they are used in automotive parts like bumper beams.
What are the benefits of CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites over traditional composites?
The key benefits include faster production cycles, easier recyclability, and better impact resistance. They also offer design flexibility. An example is in the manufacturing of consumer electronics casings where complex shapes can be achieved more easily.
How are CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites processed?
Common processing methods include injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Injection molding is widely used for mass production. For example, in the production of small components for the medical industry.
What industries use CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
They are utilized in aerospace, automotive, medical, and sports equipment industries. In aerospace, they can be found in interior components. In the medical field, they might be used in prosthetics.
How does the carbon fiber content affect the properties of the composites?
Higher carbon fiber content generally leads to increased strength and stiffness but may reduce ductility. A moderate content is often balanced for specific applications. For example, a higher content might be preferred in structural parts of a race car.
What are the challenges in using CF Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites?
Challenges include higher material costs, complex processing equipment requirements, and ensuring uniform fiber dispersion. Issues with adhesion between the fibers and the matrix can also arise. An example is in achieving consistent quality in large-scale production.
