Composite :- Something made up of distinct parts or constituents.
Composite Material :- A combination of two or more materials with different mechanical, chemical or physical properties.
Carbon-Carbon Composite :- By the combination of two major elements
carbon fibers and a carbon matrix. What are c/c composites ?
A composite is basically a material that contains both a reinforcing material to
provide strength and stiffness and a matrix material to surround and hold the reinforcement together. C/C composites are those special composites in which both the reinforcing fibers and the matrix material are both pure carbon. C/C composite are in a special subclass of composite materials. Scientists and Engineers don’t put C/C composites with fiberglass composites etc. Composite material group Graphite fiber reinforcement plastic (GFRP) and aramids (Kevlar) are the common used of the fibers. Polymer matrix composite (PMC) and fiber reinforcement plastic (FRP) are known as Reinforced Plastics.

Carbon-carbon composite properties CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Carbon- Carbon (C-C) composites are fire resistance non flammable materials. Carbon- Carbon (C-C) have high resistant to corrosion and oxidation. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Carbon- Carbon (C-C) composites are designed in ideal thermal expansion (to reduce thermal stress). Carbon- Carbon (C-C) composites are structured to absorbing or transmitting magnetic and electrical energy. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Higher strength and lighter materials five times lighter than steel and three times lighter than aluminum. Resistance to degradation in high fatigue applications much better than conventional materials. Capability and ability of ductility, hardness, elasticity, creepy, and fracture toughness. Processing of carbon-carbon composite Advantages of carbon-carbon composite It has long working life. It’s density is less than steel. It is insensitive to change in temperature. It’s property is much better than any of the other metals. It’s compressive strength is greater than all the reinforcing materials. Disadvantages of carbon-carbon composite It is very costly. It is little bit harmful to human body as it cause some form of lung cancer. Applications It is mostly used in aerospace and aircraft industries. It is used in making sports equipment's such as light badminton rackets, golf sticks etc.., Automotive body. Used in civil engineering. Construction of wind mills. Portable powers. Rechargeable batteries and fuel cell electrodes. Carbon Nosetip. Space motor nozzles. reference http://www.slideshare.net/SantoshSharma13/carbon-fibre-final-ppt Research in Carbon-Carbon Composite by Saifeldein Arabab.
