carbon fibre

Fine, black, silky, continuous filament of pure carbon produced by heating organic fibres, such as cellulose, in an inert atmosphere, and used for reinforcing plastics, epoxy, and polyester resins. The resulting composite is very stiff and, weight for weight, has four times the strength of high-tensile steel. It is used in the aerospace industry, cars, and electrical and sports equipment.
