Teflo N: By:David Roy Llyod Tan Timothy Alberto Harvey Santos Tyler Dee

Carbon fiber is a strong yet lightweight material made of carbon atoms bonded together in microscopic fibers. It was accidentally invented in 1938 by Roy Plunkett when experimenting with refrigerants. Early uses included valves and seals for pipes handling uranium hexafluoride. Carbon fiber is now commonly used to make lightweight yet durable components for cars, bikes, boats and other objects where strength and weight are important factors.

WHAT IS Carbon Fibre?
Info
it is also known as ‘’PTFE’’ or
Polytetrafluoroethye
PTFE is a fluorocarbon.
consists of:

carbon and fluorine


History
-It was acccidentally made by Roy
Plunkett of Kinetic Chemicals in
1938 in New Jersey

. He was attemping to make a new CFC refridgerator.


the perfluorethylene combined in the pressurized
container with the iron acting as a catalyst. Kinetic
Chemicals patented it in 1941 and was registered as
the Teflon trademark in 1945
Early uses
-It was used for the valves and seals in the
pipes containing very reactive uranium
hexafluoride in the K-25 Uranium
Processing Plant

Carbon Fibre

It is called Carbon fiber reinforced polymer or carbon
fiber-reinforced plastic also called CFRP or CRP
 is a very strong, light, and
expensive composite material.
Similar to Fiberglass
Carbon Fibre is probably has the best
Strength to weight ratio
It is used in cars, bikes, bicycles, Wheels,
Tripods, Sailboats and other things that
need to be lightweight and strong
