ʻO ka fiber carbon kahi fiber kūikawā i hana ʻia me ke kalapona, maʻamau me ka ʻona kalapona ma mua o 90%. He fibrous, palupalu a hiki ke hana ʻia i nā lole like ʻole. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona o ka fiber kalapona ka paona māmā, ka ikaika kiʻekiʻe i ka wā e mālama ana i ka modulus kiʻekiʻe, a me ke kū'ē i ka wela, ka ʻino, ka ʻōpala a me ka sputtering. Eia kekahi, he mea hiki ke hoʻolālā a maʻalahi. Hoʻohana nui ʻia ia i nā kula he nui e like me ka aerospace, nā waiwai haʻuki, ka mana makani makani a me nā moku kaomi etc.
