| Résumé : |
Researchers at the Virginia Tech's College of Science, Blacksburg, VA/USA, may have discovered a path toward powering planes and cars using energy stored in their exterior shells using porous carbon fibers made from block copolymers.
Carbon fibers, already known as a high-per-forming engineering material, are widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries. One application is the shells of luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Lamborghini.
Carbon fibers, thin hair-like strands of car-bon, possess multiple prime material properties : they are mechanically strong, chemically resistant, electrically conductive, fire-retardant and perhaps most importantly, lightweight. The weight of carbon fibers improves fuel and energy efficiency, producing faster jets and vehicles |
