Carbon Fiber Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer or carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP or CRP or often simply carbon fiber), is an extremely strong and light, fiber-reinforced polymer which contains carbon fibers. Carbon fiber is what you see in the backround.
How Its Helpful today • Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer is used extensively in high-end automobile racing for the bodies of the vehicles. • The high cost of carbon fiber is mitigated by the material's unsurpassed strength-to-weight ratio, and low weight is essential for high-performance automobile racing. • In the future carbon fiber will make metal obsolete in cars except the engine and other moving parts in the vehicles
How carbon fiber is made • Also called graphite fiber or carbon graphite, carbon fiber consists of very thin strands of the element carbon. • Carbon fibers have high tensile strength and are very strong for their size. In fact, carbon fiber might be the strongest material there is even compared to metal altogether.
