carbon fibre
Woven black material
Carbon fibre is a strong, lightweight material made of thin filaments of carbon atoms bonded in crystalline patterns.
The fibres are typically woven into fabric and set in resin to create composite materials used in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment: a carbon fibre bicycle frame, carbon fibre reinforced panels.
Also spelled carbon fiber.
