  Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) or carbon composites have become increasing popular in recent years due to their high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, CFRP manufacturing still poses several challenges. One of the most promising solutions is the use of carbon prepreg materials. In this article, we will discuss what carbon prepreg is, its manufacturing process, applications and future prospects. What is Carbon Prepreg ? Simply put, carbon prepreg is carbon fiber cloth or fabric that has been pre-impregnated with a thermosetting plastic resin. The most common resin used is epoxy. In the prepreg form, the composite material consists of fibrous reinforcement pre-impregnated with partially cured or uncured polymer resin.
