Properties of CF
C fibers are close to asbestos in a number of properties
C fibers filament is a thin tube with a diameter of 58
The atomic structure of carbon fiber is similar to that ofgraphite
Tensile strength (820,000 psi).
Modulus of elasticity (77,000,000 psi).

Applications
Carbon fiber is most notably used to reinforce compositematerials .
Used structurally in high temp applications
Used in filtration of high temp gases and is corrosion resistant
Light weight and rigidity

The wings on the Grumman X-29experimentalplane made use of a feature ofcomposites thatallow them to bend in one direction
but not another.

Safety Issues
Small pieces of carbon fibers can circulate in the air inthe form of a fine dust.
Industrial health studies have shown that carbon fibersare too large to be a health hazard when inhaled.
They can be an irritant, however, and people working inthe area should wear protective masks.
