What is the RCCF?

The „Research Center Carbon Fibers Saxony (RCCF)” is a joint research initiative in the field of tailored carbon fibres for pioneering multi-functional structural materials. The Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology and the  Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology join their competences within the RCCF to a research center which is unique in Europe. Continuous development chains from the fiber raw materials to final composite structures will be developed in the future. The RCCF scientists investigate fossil and renewable raw materials as basic products and develop tailored carbon fibres for novel multi-functional materials. Beyond that, the knowledge transfer to industrial applications is focused.
