CHARACTERIZATION FACILITY

Characterization facility

Characterization facility at CCFP is well equipped with analytical instruments required for polymer, fiber and resin analysis. New techniques/analysis method for characterization have been developed for raw materials, intermediates and end product in the integrated carbon fiber process technology. The impregnating resin for carbon fiber evaluation is also characterized. Capabilities for characterization, imaging and microanalysis offer insights into the development of carbon fiber with improved mechanical properties.
