(1) In terms of tensile strength, glass fiber has the lowest, while aramid fiber has the worst heat resistance compared to organic fibers; Fiberglass has the lowest cost; Glass fiber and carbon fiber are brittle fibers, and their processing, weaving, and winding properties are slightly poor during use. Aramid fiber has good toughness and is easy to weave and wrap.
(2) In terms of tensile strength and modulus, carbon fiber CF>; Aramid KF> Fiberglass GF, but the fracture elongation of CF is very small and sometimes cannot meet the requirements. Density GF>; CF> KF. The advantage of fiberglass is its low price, much cheaper than carbon fiber and aramid. The prominent feature of aramid is its impact resistance, which can be used as bulletproof clothing, but aramid is prone to moisture absorption.
Fiberglass is a well-known material, and the products produced are called fiberglass products, which are common in various fields of life. The reason why it is called glass fiber is because the production of this fiber filament is to melt quartz and other mineral materials at high temperature into glass slurry, and then pull out the fine filaments at high speed. This type of fiber has many advantages due to its different compositions, such as heat resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, and good insulation. Like carbon fiber, it has the same disadvantages of brittle products, poor ductility, and poor wear resistance. Currently, fiberglass is widely used in various fields such as insulation, thermal insulation, and anti-corrosion.
Aramid fiber is also a chemically synthesized material with high technological content, characterized by high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and lightweight. Like carbon fiber, it has a wide range of applications in bulletproof equipment and flight equipment.
When comparing the tensile strength values of these three materials, carbon fiber is the strongest and glass fiber is the weakest; In terms of temperature resistance, aramid has the worst heat resistance, while carbon fiber has the strongest; In terms of price, fiberglass is the cheapest, aramid is the most expensive, aramid fiber has the best toughness, while carbon fiber and fiberglass are too brittle; In terms of weight, aramid is the lightest and fiberglass is the heaviest. Aramid and fiberglass insulation, carbon fiber conductivity, carbon fiber can withstand long-term static loads, and aramid has a good protective effect against local impacts.
