The world’s first carbon fiber apple was born with a concept of carbon fibre. As its name implies, it not only has the inherent intrinsic characteristics of carbon materials, but also has the soft processability of textile fibers. It is a new generation of reinforcing fibers. Its quality is only 1/4 of that of iron, but its strength can be more than 10 times that of iron. It is a new material with a very wide application prospect. Some scholars soaked PAN-based CF in strong alkali NaOH solution in 1981, more than 20 years have passed, and it still maintains fiber morphology.

II. Growth momentum The "2010-2015 China New Materials Industry Investment Analysis and Forecast Report" released by the China Investment Consultant shows that at present, the world's carbon fiber production is mainly concentrated in a few developed countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States, and France. Companies are Japan's Toray Industries, Toho Tenax Corporation, Mitsubishi Synthetic Fiber and the United States Zoltek, Aksu, Aldira and Germany's SGL companies. Among them, Japan's three carbon fiber production companies account for more than 70% of the world's total carbon fiber output.

According to reports, the demand for carbon fiber is still heating up. In addition to the traditional aerospace field, new carbon fiber markets such as automobiles, wind turbine blades and pressure vessels are emerging.

Third, new carbon fiber products 1) Ultralight carbon fiber Currently, Tohox and Sakaiovex are jointly developing ultralight carbon fiber products. The product's open-fiber technology is half that of today's thinnest carbon fiber product, achieving 60g/m2. Because the product itself is strong and light, it can be used as an intermediate material for forming, and it can be used in large sporting goods and computer frames. By 2012, the product will have a sales volume of 300,000 m2 and sales of 1.8 billion yen.

2) Carbon fiber body frame In order to further reduce the weight of the car, Aston Martin One-77 uses a full carbon fiber body frame, plus an all-aluminum exterior body panel and composite ceramic brake system, the body can become lighter . In conjunction with the 6-speed AMT transmission, its 100 km acceleration can be completed in 3.5 seconds with a maximum speed of 355 km/h.

3) Carbon Fiber Watch In order to welcome the 2011 Basel International Watch Fair, Hublot has taken the lead in the world and launched a three-questioned timepiece with two "Cathedral" type gongs. This is a high-complex watch that integrates a tourbillon and a column chronograph. The case and the movement plate are made entirely of carbon fiber. This watch is a perfect interpretation of the "fusion" of great watchmaking tradition and future technology.

4) The perfect combination of mechanics and chemistry Asiana Airlines recently released a news report that it is expected that Asiana Airlines will introduce 30 Airbus A350XWB widebody aircrafts from 2016 onwards. According to Yu Bingguo, general manager of the regional marketing department of Asiana Airlines in China, the aircraft fuselage is mainly composed of long carbon fiber structural panels, and the aerodynamics technology is perfectly applied. This makes the machine's self-contained Reduce. The choice of introducing the A350XWB widebody aircraft can provide more passengers with the most advanced on-board facilities and a comfortable and comfortable travel environment on the one hand; on the other hand, the new models with carbon fiber are lighter, more fuel-efficient, and effective. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

IV. Summing up relevant experts predict that the world's carbon fiber demand will grow at an annual rate of approximately 13%. The global demand for polyacrylonitrile-based PAN-based carbon fiber will reach 50,000 tons next year, and will reach 60,000 tons by 2012, and it is expected to reach 2018. The annual demand will reach 100,000 tons. Seven major carbon fiber manufacturers, Toray, Toho, Mitsubishi Rayon, SGL, Hexcel, Cytec and Zoltek, have announced plans to expand production by 78% in the next 3 to 5 years, with a total investment of approximately US$1.3 billion. The demand for asphalt-based carbon fiber in the industrial sector is also growing, especially in the development of environment-related industries. The market scale is about 3,000 tons and is expected to expand to 4000 tons by 2012. Therefore, some experts pointed out that the supply of carbon fiber may exceed demand in 2012.
