About the Topic
Dr. Lowe will describe current manufacturing technology for aerospace oriented
PAN-based standard and intermediate modulus fibers. The talk will also cover
global capacity, end use markets and forecasted aerospace usage worldwide. Dr.
Lowe will also discuss current trends in carbon fiber processing beyond
traditional prepregs, such as resin transfer molding and resin film infusion.
The talk will conclude with a discussion of new products, such as low cost
fibers and new fiber specialties and commercial constraints associated with
bringing new products to market.
