先進構造炭素材料市場 −炭素繊維、多孔体、複合材料−

Abstract

The structural carbon materials industry is at a crossroads. It serves mature industries like defense and aerospace with a wide variety of products satisfying the requirements of well-established applications. These sectors are heavily regulated. However, continuous technical innovation and attempts to make its technologies available to civil markets at affordable prices are leading to new application segments.

Over the next half-decade, significant changes will take place in global structural carbon products and applications. Technological advances that improve structure-property relationships of advanced carbon materials and breakthroughs in manufacturing processes resulting in lower costs, will lead to novel applications.

This BCC study analyzes the driving forces that will shape the structural carbons industry over next few years. The report provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of recent advances in structural carbon materials manufacturing, its commercial applications and its worldwide markets. For the purposes of this report, these materials include all types of carbon fibers, carbon foams, monolithic structural graphite and carbon-reinforced carbon composites.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The report contains:

• Descriptions of the major types of structural carbon including key physical and chemical properties, raw materials and manufacturing processes
• Coverage of the technological, economic and business considerations of the industry
• Analysis of the market forces relevant to the structural carbons industry and their areas of application
• Analysis of commercial applications
• Evaluation of present consumption and future demand for the North American and worldwide regions, with forecasts through 2011
• Technology trend analysis and forecast
• The impact of governmental regulations
• An outline of the structural dynamics of the industry along with profiles of key manufacturers.
