Lighter than aluminum, yet stronger than steel, Carbon Fiber is perfect for construction that requires great strength without excess weight. Its specific strength and elastic modulus are actually higher than carbon steel, yet it is 40% lighter than aluminum. It is widely used in the construction of Electric Park Flyers and "Foamiest", as well as helicopters and R/C cars and can be used in science projects to make composite structures. Carbon Fiber Strips are pultruded carbon fiber into rectangular shapes in an epoxy resin system. May be used anywhere structural support is needed.
