Carbon Fiber has the potential to be great in constructing anything because of its light weight, strength, and durability carbon fiber will be the next building block for the remainder of the human existence on the planet Earth.
Carbon Fiber is and will become more important to society in the next few years even now it is very important to some industries in our world. Carbon Fiber is going to be very important to the car industry because “the next generation of carbon-fiber composites could reduce passenger car weight by 50% and improve fuel efficiency by about 35% without compromising performance or safety (see graph below to see light weight advantages) -- an advancement that would save more than $5,000 in fuel over the life of the car at today’s gasoline prices.” (Top) (“Algebra”)
What some companies have started to do is they make their airplanes out of Carbon Fiber. The airplanes are made out of Carbon Fiber because the plains need to be light to get off the ground and need to be strong because they do not want the wings flying off and having a big catastrophe because they did not use the right metal.
In industry Carbon Fiber is very important it is made by “the raw material used to make carbon fiber is called the precursor. About 90% of the carbon fibers produced are made from polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The remaining 10% are made from rayon or petroleum pitch.”(Top) Carbon Fiber is created in a “42,000-square foot facility features a 390-foot-long processing line that is capable of producing up to 25 tons of carbon fiber a year -- that is enough carbon fiber to cover the length of almost 138,889 football fields.”(Top) (Football fields are 120 yards long including the end zones)

There is still work to go to improve its strength, durability, and less expensive so it can full take place of all of the steel material in buildings, cars, and boats making them more fuel efficient and performance.

The demand for carbon Nanotubes asks for mass production and this is a very sustainable model as there are multiple industries everywhere.
... cotton and other recycled materials in its production. Yvon Chouinard is an inspiring example of how far an individual can go in the direction of making his life a grand adventure and achieving great success.
A) It has been successfully utilized to make a thousands of diverse, environmentally friendly products like textiles, paper, oil, rope and canvas.
Being a government research project, the concept was introduced to the public, and companies were encouraged to compete for the right to develop the fibre. The in fact that multiple companies were competing for the development rights not only meant that it was cheap for the government to fund, but also that the final product would be high quality. Corning Ultimately won the developmental rights, and developed fibre optic cable into what we use today. The development of Fiber Optics has given us many benefits such as:
material, cotton and building material. And that could also be the reason why they don’t want to
Different chemistries and production methods of these fibers give them certain advantages. as viscose’s ability to combine with other fibers to create new fabrics easily) and disadvantages. such as nylon’s quickly weakening fibers or natural silk’s difficulty of production. other that make them more or less suitable for certain purposes. For this reason, when? considering silk and artificial silk, it is illogical to pick one fiber that is superior to the others.
the discovery of carbon nanotubes, the strongest material known to man, a possible solution has been found.
An incredible event happened in the 1930¡¯s that has changed lives ever since. That event, the creation of nylon, has manipulated the way people dress and live their everyday lives. It even provided more employment opportunities and job improvements throughout the years.
German Chemist Hans von Pechmann first synthesized Polyethylene by accident in 1898 by heating diazomethane. His colleagues characterized the waxy substance polyethylene due to the fact that they recognized that it consisted of long ethene chains. It was then first industrially synthesized by accident in 1933 by applying extremely high pressure to ethylene and benzaldehyde. Over the years, development of polyethylene has increased due to the additions of catalyst. This makes ethylene polymerization possible at lower temperatures and pressures.1
Many, many things that we wear, sleep on, sleep under, walk on, or utilize in wound-care, etc., contain some percentage of cotton. It is a fiber that is used everyday, by everyone, in one way or another. It has qualities that have made it a choice crop for centuries around the world. Today though, cotton is being largely displaced by synthetic fibers that have qualities that exceed the natural crop plant. These fibers can also be mass-produced and sold at relatively lower costs.

Sustainable concrete materials and sustainable steel reinforcement have been introduced to civil engineers to get closer to the sustainable development. Sustainable buildings constructed with use of these materials have shown an increased service life and the final cost has been reduced due to them.
Under the agreement, Kimberly- Clark ensures that 100 percent of the fiber which is used in the products will be from environmentally responsible sources. It will increase use of recycled fiber. This will help reduce the destruction of our forests.
