Carbon fibres type
LM (low modulus) are
carbon fibres with
isotropic structure, tensile modulus values as low as 10% of the
values of the
graphite single crystal, and low strength values.
Note:
The term carbon fibres type
LM is sometimes used for various types of
isotropic carbon fibres known as
pitch-based or
rayon-based carbon fibres that have not been subjected to hot-stretching. Such fibres are not used for reinforcement purposes in high-performance composites.
