CFRP is a type of composite material made by combining two or more different materials, in which carbon fibers are used as the reinforcing component. The term CFRP stands for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics, meaning “plastics reinforced and strengthened with carbon fibers.”
In addition to their high stiffness and high strength, carbon fibers also possess properties such as electrical conductivity, heat resistance, low thermal expansion, self‑lubrication, and X‑ray transparency. By leveraging these characteristics, CFRP enables lightweight construction, as well as the potential for larger, smaller, or more energy‑efficient designs.
As a result, CFRP is widely used across a broad range of fields, including aerospace, automobiles and motorcycles, sports equipment, medical devices, and architecture.
