Abstract

The advances of carbon usage for Carbon Fibre Reinforce Polymer (CFRP) structures led to multiple applications in a large number of industries. This chapter presents methods for CFRP material characterization and usage for aeronautic, automotive and satellite applications. The major CFRP components used for antennas and microwave applications within these industries are presented. The accelerated adoption of carbon-based composites, current challenges and future directions are also reported.
