Waste from paper production could help make stronger, lower-carbon car materials

Carbon fiber is a key component in automobile manufacturing, aerospace engineering and energy infrastructure, but it mostly relies on petroleum-derived products, which can be expensive and contribute to carbon emissions. But what if carbon fiber were made of a free waste material and was as strong as—or even stronger than—petrochemical-based products? Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are exploring that prospect in research recently published in the journal Matter.
