Carbon fiber (alternatively CF or graphite fiber), composed more than 95% of carbon atoms, is a new type of fiber material with high tensile strength.Carbon fiber is a type of microcrystalline graphite material produced by bonding the carbon atoms together in crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber.
Carbon fiber with excellent flexural strength is lighter than metal aluminum, but its tensile strength is stronger than steel.
As a new generation of reinforcing fibers, Carbon fiber not only has the inherent intrinsic properties of carbon materials, but also has similar processability of textile fibers.Carbon fiber has many excellent properties including high stiffness, high tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, and high temperature resistance in non-oxidizing environment etc.
With excellent corrosion resistance to organic solvents, acids and alkalis, carbon fiber’s Young's modulus is three times of that of traditional glass fiber, and two times of that of Kevlar fiber
