This project aims to deliver cost-effective, high-performance carbon fibres from polyethylene through the use of novel catalysts and advanced processing techniques. Carbon fibre-reinforced composites are extremely strong and light fibre-reinforced polymers that are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity are required, such as in aerospace, automotive and civil engineering applications. However, broader market uptake is currently limited by carbon fibre costs. The project aims to deliver high-quality fibre with real potential to capture a share of the $14-billion carbon fibre composite market.

该项目旨在通过使用新型催化剂和先进的加工技术，从聚乙烯中生产出具有成本效益的高性能碳纤维。碳纤维增强复合材料是一种非常坚固和轻便的纤维增强聚合物，通常用于需要高强度重量比和刚性的地方，例如航空航天，汽车和土木工程应用。然而，更广泛的市场吸收目前受到碳纤维成本的限制。该项目旨在提供具有真正潜力的高质量纤维，以在140亿美元的碳纤维复合材料市场中占有一席之地。
