Have a look at this beautiful microscopy!
This scanning electron microscope image shows a carbon-carbon composite composed of carbon fibers (in blue) and silicon carbide (in brown)!
Besides high mass-specific properties and high thermal stability, functional properties like low thermal expansion and good tribological behavior play increasing importance for commercial applications of carbon-carbon composites. Originally developed for space and military applications, nowadays this class of materials is mainly used in brake discs and pads, clutches, calibration plates, or furnace charging devices!
