Carbon Fiber Application Analysis in the Apparel Field

Abstract:

As a new chemical material, carbon fiber is widely used in national defense and civil industries due to the strong tensile strength of carbon and the flexibility and workability of fiber. Through collecting and sorting relevant data, this paper summarized and analyzed the application of carbon fiber in apparel industry, especially in the field of electrical heating clothing, meanwhile pointed out a few issues to be solved for carbon fiber heating clothing in terms of safety, buttery durability, construction and fabric etc.
