carbon composite
Strong, light material
Carbon composite refers to materials made by embedding carbon fibers in a resin or other matrix, creating structures that are both lightweight and exceptionally strong.
These materials dominate aerospace, high-performance automotive, and sporting goods where strength-to-weight ratio matters: The bicycle frame is carbon composite.
Often shortened to just carbon: a carbon kayak paddle.
