From sunglasses to wallets, there are dozens of different accessories we carry around every single day. These can be made from a variety of products, but carbon fiber is making a name for itself as a durable and eye-catching option. What is Carbon Fiber? Carbon fiber falls into a category of materials known as “fiber-reinforced plastics,” which also includes materials like fiberglass, used widely for boats and cars, and Kevlar, best known for creating bullet-proof vests. Combining the super-strong carbon fabric with advanced plastics enables the creation of a material with properties that seem almost impossible: it’s lighter than aluminum yet stronger than steel, doesn’t change size as it heats or cools, is incredibly stiff and rigid, and that’s just a start. Uses of carbon fiber are found in a wide range of industries, with new applications being discovered daily.
