Effects of fiber stitching on mechanical properties and friction behaviors of carbon/carbon composites

In this study, the mechanical properties and friction behavior of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites with and without stitching were investigated. The C/C composites were prepared via high-pressure liquid-phase infiltration, followed by carbonization and graphitization over several cycles. The unstitched C/C composites exhibited better comprehensive mechanical and friction properties and showed excellent application potential for the field of high-temperature friction.
