Carbon/graphite composite material study

Technical Report · Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5725936

The potential problems arising from the projected increased use of carbon fiber composite materials in civilian applications are addressed. The primary concern was the electrical hazard associated with carbon fibers released from burning of carbon fiber composites and disposal of carbon composite waste or worn out parts. Final reports of the NASA, DOT, DOE, DOD, and DOC and progress reports of the EPA, DHHS (NIOSH), DOL (OSHA), and the FEMA are presented. Also included are the findings of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the status of agency responsibilities, and a list of applicable references.
