Title: Structure and properties of high-performance polymeric and carbon fibers - an overview

Journal Article · · SAMPE Q.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6263409

In this paper structure and mechanical properties of PBZT and PBO fibers are briefly discussed. One limitation of the high-modulus polymeric fibers and ultrahigh-modulus carbon fibers in reinforced composites is their poor compressive strength. Issues related to the compressive strength of polymeric and carbon fibers are considered. 62 references, 7 figures, 4 tables.
