Carbon materials (carbon fiber, carbon) have unique characteristics: high strength-to-weight ratio, good electrical and thermal conductivity, heat and corrosion resistance, high rigidity
The Composites Without Borders forum will be held in Moscow at a congress centre of Technopolis Moscow on October 6. The event will be headlined by gurus of the international composite industry. Most up-to-date developments in carbon materials covering all market segments such as feedstock, semi-finished products and finished products will be demonstrated at the forum.
