The shape of Carbon fiber doesn’t deteriorate over time. That means the shape of carbon fibre doesn’t change when consistent and constant force is applied on it.
Morgan already offers a variety of Carbon Current Collector Pantograph Strips for overhead pantograph applications which uniquely allows a reduction in pan head mass, therefore reducing service and maintenance costs. However, as many in the electric train, tram and bus industry will know, energy efficiency needs to be improved to reduce the overall carbon footprint. Thus, more conductive collector strips are continually in demand in transportation markets.

Applications
If your carbon fiber or fiberglass application will be exposed to harmful chemicals, acids, or abrasive environments, you’ll be happy to learn that either material is highly resistant to corrosion or chemical abrasions. Cost
The Royal Academy of Engineering has awarded Professor Kinloch a research chair, which will help fund the project. Using experimentation, state-of-the-art analysis and analytical models, the five-year project will pave the way to Delhaes P (2002) Chemical vapor deposition and infiltration processes of carbon materials. Carbon 40:641–657. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0008-6223(01)00195-6 These parts undergo huge amounts of pressure to ensure no leaks occur, while pumping water in high volumes, and are used from large-scale industrial pumps all the way through to pumps in coffee machines.Carbon fiber is lighter than fiberglass, it’s 70% lighter than steel, 40% lighter than Aluminum. The nature of carbon fiber is low in weight, rigid, and strong. This is why most weight-critical performance products use carbon fiber, and it’s a far more popular choice of material for mini quad frames. Strength vs Rigidity

J Wuhan Univ Technol Mater Sci Ed 24:728–731. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11595-009-5728-7 Our felt materials are processed to high temperatures ensuring a more stable product in extreme conditions and a higher purity while maintaining low thermal conductivity at high temperatures. This high temperature processing also serves to improve dimensional stability and prevent the further degassing and degradation of materials that could contaminate products. Cost pressures on the steps of solar cell production are intensifying as solar cells become commoditised. For carbon insulation producers like Morgan, that translates into a need to develop more thermally insulating material and at lower cost. Soft carbon felt has also long been the standard for use as thermal insulation in high temperature, vacuum furnaces and inert gas, electric furnaces. Once heated to a high temperature carbon fibre becomes a pure carbon thermal insulator, wrapping the furnace interior like a blanket. During this collaboration Kinloch and Morgan will be looking into how the carbon can be weaved to reflect the heat more efficiently.Not only do carbon seals and bearings reduce energy usage during the pumping process, but they are also safer and more hygienic. If carbon materials aren’t used, then invariably a secondary lubricant needs to be added into the pumping process. This brings the risk of mixing chemicals into the solution - for example lubricants mixing into coffee from the coffee machine poses a health risk to the user. High temperature vacuum furnace applications such as nitriding, carburising and heat treating of components

What is the difference between Pan & Rayon Felts?
Rigidity is also known as stiffness. Carbon fiber and fiberglass are both very strong, but Carbon fiber is more rigid. Carbon fiber is about 3 times stiffer than steel and aluminum for a given weight.
