PBO fiber is short for poly (p-phenylene benzoxazole) fiber. As a high-performance fiber in the 21st century, PBO has excellent physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Its strength and modulus are twice that of aramid fibers, and it also has the heat and flame retardant properties of meta aramid fibers. Moreover, its physical and chemical properties completely surpass aramid fibers, which are currently leading in the field of high-performance fibers. One PBO fine wire with a diameter of 1 mm can lift a weight of 450 kilograms, and its strength is more than 10 times that of steel wire fibers.
The strength, modulus, heat resistance, and flame resistance of PBO fibers, especially the strength of PBO fibers not only exceeds that of steel fibers, but also surpasses that of carbon fibers. In addition, PBO fiber has excellent impact resistance, friction resistance, and dimensional stability, and is lightweight and soft, making it an extremely ideal textile raw material.
1. Aerospace: Due to its high strength and heat resistance, PBO fiber is used in the manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft components.
2. Protective Equipment: It is used in the production of bulletproof vests, helmets, and other protective gear.
3. Sports Equipment: PBO fiber is utilized for manufacturing high-performance sports equipment such as snowboards, bicycle frames, etc.
4. Medical Field: The fiber also finds applications in some medical devices and implants.
