Is carbon fiber a composite material

Yes Carbon fiber refers to high strength and high modulus fiber with carbon content above 90%. High temperature resistance ranks first among all chemical fibers. Acrylic fiber and viscose fiber are used as raw materials, which are oxidized and carbonized at high temperature. It is an excellent material for manufacturing aerospace and other high-tech equipment. Carbon fiber is mainly composed of carbon element, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, friction resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is fibrous and soft, and can be processed into various fabrics. Because its graphite microcrystal structure is preferentially oriented along the fiber axis, it has high strength and modulus along the fiber axis.
