Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a composite material made from a polymer matrix—typically epoxy, polyester, or thermoplastic—reinforced with carbon fibers. CFRP is renowned for its extremely high strength-to-weight ratio, stiffness, and fatigue resistance, making it a preferred material in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment industries.Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is a composite material made from a polymer matrix—typically epoxy, polyester, or thermoplastic—reinforced with carbon fibers.

• Aerospace: Aircraft fuselage, wings, interior structures, and satellite components.
• Automotive: Structural elements, body panels, and performance parts in sports and electric vehicles.
• Sports equipment: High
• performance bicycles, tennis rackets, golf clubs, skis, and racing boats.
• Industrial: Robotic arms, pressure vessels, and precision mechanical systems.
• Medical: Prosthetics, surgical tools, and imaging device supports.
• Exceptional strength and stiffness: CFRP offers significantly higher tensile strength and modulus than metals and other plastics.
• Lightweight: Its low density drastically reduces weight while maintaining mechanical performance.
• Corrosion resistance: CFRP does not corrode, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Fatigue and vibration resistance: Excellent fatigue endurance makes it ideal for dynamic mechanical applications.
• Design flexibility: Can be tailored with different fiber orientations and layups for optimized performance.
• High cost: CFRP is significantly more expensive than most engineering plastics and metals.
• Brittle failure: Unlike metals, CFRP tends to fail suddenly without yielding.
• Complex processing: Requires specialized manufacturing techniques such as autoclaving or precision layup.
• Recycling challenges: Thermoset
• based CFRPs are not easily recyclable.
