What Are Carbon Fiber & Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics?
Carbon fiber is a fiber consisting mainly of carbon.
It is characterized by having a specific gravity of 1.8 to 2.2, making it light yet also strong and tough.
Carbon fiber is generally used in a carbon fiber reinforced plastic, with a resin or similar as the matrix.
