Carbon Fiber is a fiber-reinforced polymer that is similar to fiberglass. Carbon fiber is an extremely strong and very light material that can be molded to any shape. Carbon fiber is expensive and its production is very time consuming. Carbon fiber is most commonly found in the automotive and aerospace fields due to it being so strong and lightweight. More recently carbon fiber is being found in a wide range of consumer items like laptops, fishing poles, instruments, golf clubs and pool cues.
