Carbon Twill • 284

Carbon fiber is one of the strongest and stiffest reinforcements available. In addition to high strength-
to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios, carbon fibers are thermally and electrically conductive, have
low thermal expansion coefficients, and have excellent fatigue resistance. The impact resistance of
carbon fiber laminates, however, is less than most other composite materials. Style 284, a 2/2 twill
weave, is a lightweight bidirectional fabric and an aerospace standard. The 2 x 2 twill weave creates
an excellent cosmetic appearance. It also makes the cloth highly formable to curves. It is compatible
with epoxy, and vinyl-ester resins. Sold by the yard.
