Abstract
New materials are one of the key pillars of the convergence in science, technology, and innovation. Recent advancements have led to the development of new materials with improved specifications and reduced dimensions. Cutting-edge metals, foams, and other substances make buildings, vehicles, and gadgets more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Due to their strategic importance, new materials are at the radar of national policies. In recent decades, a number of developed and developing countries have conducted numerous studies to determine STI-based development prospects for the sphere of converging technologies with a particular focus on new materials, nanotechnologies, and their production. All carbon fiber production technologies involve in one way or another pyrolysis of raw material. No ‘revolutionary’ technologies for carbon fiber production are expected to emerge in the near future. The carbon fiber industry is currently changing from custom production (e.g. for the aerospace industry) to general mass market-oriented production. The most important aspect is believed to be increasing capacities of individual production lines.
