For the rigid composite material made from carbon fiber used in aerospace and other applications, see Carbon fiber reinforced polymer. Carbon fibers or carbon fibres (alternatively CF, graphite fiber or graphite fibre) are fibers about 5â10 micrometres in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms.
