Carbon fiber is an interesting material, especially when used as the key ingredient in fiber-reinforced plastics and other composites.
Carbon fibers are nearly five-times stronger than steel, three times lighter, twice as stiff and have better yield strength. This makes them particularly interesting to developers of high performance vehicles, who use the composite material as an alternative to traditional steel construction.
Research from Frost & Sullivan has outlined carbon fiber as a way for aerospace and automotive manufacturers to build better vehicles – a necessity when standards for auto emissions will reach new highs by 2025.
