A fishing rod weighs less than the weight of a medium-sized fish, but it bends to the S shape and does not break. It catches a 12-pound fish. How do you make a fishing rod that is about the same size as a deck of cards? 55 times the fish? The light and powerful power of the fishing rod comes from a cloth-like material called carbon fiber. After it is turned face down, it is sent to a computer-controlled cutting machine. It is cut into thin shapes with a wheel cutter. Every fishing rod needs one slice.

The materials produced by surimi mainly include the following:

Bamboo; reed; glass fiber; carbon fiber; boron fiber, etc. Among them, bamboo and reed have been used for nearly a thousand years, and some people have been fond of it.

Since the invention of the glass fiber composite material, it has been widely used in engineering with its unique and excellent mechanical and physical-chemical structure, and it has soon been applied to the production of surimi. This is the earliest fiberglass composite, referred to as FRP. This is the symbol of modern fishing rods. Later, with the development of technology, carbon fiber and other composite materials with better mechanical properties such as boron fiber appeared.

The composite material is a mixture of two or more materials in a certain ratio through a certain physical and chemical means to produce a new material, which has the advantages of both materials. It is a high-tech product. One of the components is subjected to the main tension, which is called a reinforcing material, and the other component is distributed between the reinforcing materials and is responsible for bonding the reinforcing material, which is called a matrix. For surimi, the reinforcing materials are mainly glass fiber, carbon fiber, and boron fiber. The matrix mainly includes phenolic resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated resin and the like.

The most common glass fiber reinforced plastic crucible is glass fiber phenolic resin composite material, referred to as glass cloth. There are 3 models depending on the application: 10#, 13#, 18#. The difference is that the amount of fiber in each yarn is different.

Further up is the glass fiber epoxy resin composite material, referred to as epoxy cloth. There are also three models: 10#, 13#, 18#. The difference between it and glass cloth is mainly the difference in the resin system. The material produced by such materials is referred to as epoxy oxime. This is also a material for merchants to fake the most consumers. There are often techniques: the inner section is made of epoxy cloth, the handle is covered with carbon, and the carbon is nicked; the whole surface is wrapped with carbon tape on the surface of the epoxy cloth, and the carbon ray is a lie.

In the large family of composite materials, fiber reinforcement has always been the focus of attention. Since the advent of glass fiber reinforced glass fiber and an organic resin, carbon fiber, ceramic fiber, and boron fiber reinforced composite materials have been successfully developed, and the performance has been continuously improved, making the field of composite materials alive. Let’s take a look at the unique carbon fiber composites.

Carbon fiber is mainly a kind of special fiber composed of carbon elements, and its carbon content varies with different types, generally more than 90%. Carbon fiber has the characteristics of general carbon materials, such as high-temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance. However, unlike ordinary carbon materials, its shape is markedly anisotropic, soft, and can be processed into various A fabric that exhibits high strength along the fiber axis. Carbon fiber has a small specific gravity and therefore has a high strength.

Carbon fiber is made of man-made chemical fiber with high carbon content and not melting during heat treatment, which is processed by the thermal stable oxidation treatment, carbonization treatment, and graphitization.

The main use of carbon fiber is to compound with a matrix such as resin, metal, ceramics, etc., and also as a structural material. The carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composite material has the highest specific strength and specific modulus and is the highest among the existing structural materials. In areas where strict requirements such as the degree of rigidity, weight, weight, and fatigue characteristics are required, carbon fiber composite materials are advantageous in applications where high temperature and high chemical stability are required.

Carbon fiber was produced in the early 1950s in response to the needs of cutting-edge science and technology such as rockets, aerospace, and aviation. It is now widely used in sports equipment, textiles, chemical machinery, and medicine. With the increasingly demanding requirements of cutting-edge technology for the performance of new materials, scientific and technological workers are constantly striving to improve. In the early 1980s, high-performance and ultra-high-performance carbon fiber appeared one after another, which is another leap in technology. It also marks that carbon fiber research and production have entered an advanced stage.
