What is it about?
Lion's share of carbon-carbon composites produced worldwide is used as aircraft brake discs. We have made a carbon-carbon composite employing most economical route i.e. through liquid pitch impregnation and pyrolysis and the same has properties comparable to those reported in open literature for their application as aircraft brake discs. In this paper, we have brought out how different types of carbon fabrics play important roles in altering the properties of carbon-carbon composites made specifically for friction and wear purpose.

Why is it important?
In this paper, we have brought out how different types of carbon fabrics play important roles in altering the properties of carbon-carbon composites made specifically for friction and wear purpose. Influence of properties such as flexural strength, tensile strength, through-thickness thermal conductivity and fracture behaviour are studied and results are presented in a very comprehensive manner.
Perspectives
This publication is a unique one in which the influence of carbon fabric types on the important properties of carbon-carbon composites, developed employing most economical production route with an aim to use as aircraft brake discs, in a comprehensive way. Readers will definitely find it interesting.
