Carbon Fiber, hoooooo!!

Carbon Fibre, hoooooooo!!

Carbon fibre can refer to carbon filament thread, or to felt or woven cloth made from those carbon filaments.

Each carbon filament is made out of long, thin sheets of carbon similar to graphite. A common method of making carbon filaments is the oxidation and thermal pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a polymer used in the creation of many synthetic materials. Like all polymers, polyacrylonitrile molecules are long chains, which are aligned in the process of drawing fibres. When heated in the correct fashion, these chains bond side-to-side, forming narrow graphene sheets which eventually merge to form a single, jelly roll-shaped filament. The result is usually 93-95% carbon. Lower-quality fibre can be manufactured using pitch or rayon as the precursor instead of PAN. The carbon can become further enhanced, as high modulus, or high strength carbon, by heat treatment processes. Carbon heated in the range of 1500-2000 °C (carburizing) exhibits the highest tensile strength (820,000 psi or 5,650 MPa or 5,650 N/mm²), while carbon fibre heated from 2500 to 3000 °C (graphitizing) exhibits a higher modulus of elasticity (77,000,000 psi or 531 GPa or 531 kN/mm²).

So... What was up with that long paragraph of carbon fibre, something you don't know?

Because.... KAPOW!!!


Introducing my new... Band! Hoooooo! It's not a ring because it has no gem in the middle. It's steel on the side and... you guessed it, the black part's carbon fibre. Looks very, very nice. A beauty, hooooo!!

Okaaaaay!

In any case, it was a fun day. Went out in the morning with the family to Plaza Singapura for brunch. Then came back to CWP for a movie. M:I:III.

Some people think it's wrong but if you recall the original title was titled in this manner: "Mission: Impossible". Means the colon is right. So it's "M:I" right? Now you see because the roman numeral 3 is 3 "i"s. Meaning if they are put together it looks like "Mission Four". Which is wrong, because the roman numeral for 4 is "IV". So another colon to signify the "three" part.

Never mind. Tense right in the beginning, then the rest was just... Normal. You know, stuff you would kind of expect from a movie like this. But the beginning just blows your mind. You can feel that tensity of that moment, and you feel like jumping out of your seat anytime. Great one. But the rest of the movie was just average. So yeah.

That's all for now.

And oh, the word "POLALION" is carved in my band. So it's mine. Hah.
