Carbon-fiber–reinforced polymer, carbon-fiber–reinforced plastic or carbon-fiber–reinforced thermoplastic (CFRP, CRP, CFRTP or often simply carbon fiber, or even carbon), is an extremely strong and light fiber-reinforced plastic which contains carbon fibers. The spelling 'fibre' is common in British Commonwealth countries.
CFRPs can be expensive to produce but are commonly used wherever high strength-to-weight ratio and rigidity are required, such as aerospace, automotive and civil engineering, sports goods and an increasing number of other consumer and technical applications.
The binding polymer is often a thermoset resin such as epoxy, but other thermoset or thermoplastic polymers, such as polyester, vinyl ester or nylon, are sometimes used. The composite may contain other fibers, such as an aramid (e.g. Kevlar, Twaron), aluminium, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or glass fibers, as well as carbon fiber. The properties of the final CFRP product can also be affected by the type of additives introduced to the binding matrix (the resin). The most frequent additive is silica, but other additives such as rubber and carbon nanotubes can be used. The material is also referred to as graphite-reinforced polymer or graphite fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP is less common, as it clashes with glass-(fiber)-reinforced polymer). In product advertisements, it is sometimes referred to simply as graphite fiber for short.

how to strengthening a concrete beam with carbon fiber reinforced polymer?
This video documents the repair and renovation of three different types of concrete bridge structures in New England. Carbon Wrap Solutions was chosen as the contractor for these repairs by the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Carbon Wrap Solutions repaired these bridges to the original bridge specifications using their proprietary carbon fiber materials and application process.
Carbon fibre-reinforced plastic, CFRP for short, is considered to be the material for electric vehicles. And even aircraft construction cannot be imagined without the lightweight and rugged material. So far however, high-quality recycling for this material did not exist. But according to forecasts, the production quantities and thus the waste quantities of CFRP will triple by 2020. In Wischhafen, the CFK Valley Stade Recycling GmbH uses pyrolysis technology to fractionize the composite material CFRP and to feed it to a full cycle.

http://knifenewsroom.com - Take a look at the Spyderco Rubicon with Carbon Fiber Handles. The Rubicon™ faithfully captures all the qualities of Peter Carey’s meticulously crafted custom folders in one of the most refined production knives ever made. Its blade is precision machined from premium CPM® S30V® powdered metallurgy stainless steel and features an integral flipper. This feature—pioneered by the late Kit Carson—generates leverage to open the blade when powered by pressure from the user’s index finger. It works in concert with special ball-bearing washers around the pivot to provide swift, remarkably smooth opening of the blade. Once open, the blade’s deeply hollow ground primary bevel and flat-ground swedge offer exceptional edge geometry and point utility to effectively tackle pr...

By skinning parts you will add carbonfiber on top of your original part. By doing so you will add weight, but you will also add stiffness to your part. You can compare skinning parts with carbonfiber with flattening parts before paint with bondo. You add layer after layer and sand inbetween to get a high gloss finish at the end. In this tutorial a...
