Carbon fiber; also called carbon fibre, graphite fibre and carbon graphite, is a material of extremely thin fibers of mostly carbon atoms. These atoms are bonded together into tiny microscopic crystals that are aligned parallel to the fiber. This alignment makes the fiber extremely strong for its small size… the carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn which is then used to make whatever is needed.
