It’s easy to call carbon fiber the “do everything” compound. It’s stronger than steel – five times, to be exact – and delivers a stiffer construction, yet also manages to be significantly lighter. In turn, more and more manufacturers have been seeking it out for parts. On the fashion and accessories end, carbon fibers can also be woven into extremely durable, high-tensile textiles, thanks to strands five to 10 micrometers in diameter.
