2017 Carbon Fiber Low Cost Market 
Green Car Congress
MAY 13, 2016
RMX Technologies and the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have signed an exclusive licensing agreement for a new technology that significantly reduces the time and energy needed in the production of carbon fiber. Oxidation is the most time-consuming phase of the multistep carbon fiber conversion process.
