Standard Tool & Mold (STD) Inc. integrates carbon fiber with plastics using processes based on injection**molding to produce carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs), which combine the high tensile strength and high**modulus of carbon fibers with low-cost, light-weight plastic material. In the automotive industry, CFRPs not**only have great potential to reduce the overall vehicle weight, they are also now being used in high-end**vehicles in part to provide a unique, sophisticated look. There is consequently great consumer demand for new**colours and finishes beyond what can be achieved by painting or other superficial surface finishes. STD Inc.**provides such CFRP parts to the automotive industry for integration in center consoles, dashboards, door**handles, etc. This Engage application will develop low-cost, solution-based processes to coat carbon fiber with**nanometer-thick metal films; subsequently embedding these modified carbon fibers into plastics will create**CFRPs with a metallic, colourful look and will ultimately provide new, exciting options for consumers that will**enable STD Inc. to innovate in this exciting area of the automotive sector. This research will also provide the**new processes and insights critical to planned future research that will explore the use of metal-coated carbon**fiber to electrically connect devices to create highly functional CFRP parts.

标准工具和模具（STD）公司碳纤维增强塑料（CFRP）是一种将碳纤维与塑料结合在一起的新型材料，它采用基于注塑成型的工艺生产碳纤维增强塑料（CFRP），将碳纤维的高抗拉强度和高模量与低成本、轻质的塑料材料联合收割机相结合。在汽车工业中，碳纤维增强塑料不仅具有降低整车重量的巨大潜力，而且现在还被用于高端汽车，部分原因是为了提供独特、精致的外观。因此，消费者对新的颜色和饰面的需求很大，这超出了油漆或其他表面饰面所能达到的效果。STD Inc.**为汽车行业提供这种CFRP部件，用于集成在中控台、仪表板、门把手等中。该Engage应用将开发低成本、基于解决方案的工艺，为碳纤维涂覆纳米厚的金属膜;随后将这些改性碳纤维嵌入塑料中将产生具有金属色彩的CFRP，并最终提供新的，令人兴奋的选择，为消费者，将 ** 使STD公司。在汽车行业这个令人兴奋的领域进行创新。这项研究还将提供对计划中的未来研究至关重要的新工艺和见解，这些研究将探索使用金属涂层碳纤维来电连接设备，以创建高功能的CFRP部件。
