  • Zero-CTE Quasi-Isotropic Composite Laminates With Increased Fiber Volume Percentage
    Publication number: 20190047248
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a carbon fiber composite laminate with a substantially zero coefficient of thermal expansion. The carbon fiber composite laminate includes a plurality of carbon fiber plies, where the carbon fibers are unidirectional and embedded in a resin. The carbon fiber plies are stacked and oriented such that the composite laminate is quasi-isotropic. The composite laminate includes an increased fiber volume percentage (i.e., between 68.3% and 70.3%), and a substantially zero coefficient of thermal expansion.
