Carbon fiber (also known as carbon fibre) stands out in the materials world as one of the strongest and most lightweight materials on the market. Five times stronger than steel and one third its weight, carbon fiber composites are ideal for any application that requires strength, durability, light weight and speed. Youâll see it most commonly in aviation and aerospace, robotics, medical equipment, unmanned aerial vehicles, race cars, boats and all kinds of sports equipment from paddles and racquets, and bicycles to kayaks.
