Hey guys,

Thanks for having me on this forum. I am new in the world of composites and want to test an idea with you experts I have been walking with for quite some time.

In the outdoor world everybody is wanting to go lighter and lighter. I wonder if I can make a simple pot for cooking water. Boiling temperature of water is of course 100C and given the thin layer of CF and the conductive properties of CF I would think the pot outside surface will not get any hotter than 100C. I read that CF can take pretty much any temperature and that the limiting factor would be the resin. However a temperature resistant resin could do the trick? 

I am curious on your thoughts on my idea. But please, if you want to react, please give me some proper feedback. Thanks!

PS: I am not a native English speaker so please excuse me for any spelling errors.

Marcel

Interesting idea!  Have you measured the temperature of your heat source?  I'd expect it to be pretty high.  Even though Carbon does conduct I'd have though that surface layer is going to be beyond the upper limit of most resin systems.  Although alloy is heavier that carbon I'd havr thought that would be a better option.

Your english is perfect by the way!

I like your way of thinking! but there is one thing I wouldnt really like is to cook water in a carbonfiber pot with epoxy resin where I would eat out...
think about how carbonfiber parts are made: with chemical resistant masks, gloves,... I'm sure you could find some foodgrade epoxy and so on but I think there
are better alternatives than carbonfiber
