composite where the matrx and fiber are the same material
composite where the matrx and fiber are the same material
(OP)
I came across this article on AZOM.com
http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=497
It talks about a composite that is made by compacting polymer fibers together. The solid maintains the highly oriented properties of the fiber. The numbers they claim are good. Does anyone know of some suppliers for this type of material in the U.S. What are some other names for it? Also does anyone have experience with this?

RE: composite where the matrx and fiber are the same material
A potential lead for you is automotive brake manufacturers. Some brakes are now made with a carbon/carbon composite. I don't know the technique to make them to know if it is the same as your link above, but searching for those brakes may lead to the sources you are looking for.
RE: composite where the matrx and fiber are the same material
I think this is different to what the azom article is talking about, where the fibres bond together under compaction, mainatinign alignment, butwithout a matrix as such
Hope this helps
