Carbon fiber was discovered by Roger Bacon in the 1950s while he was experimenting with pressurizing graphite at Union Carbide’s Parma Technical Center. Carbon fiber is very light, has high tensile strength, like spiderweb, and is woven similar to ropes. It is extremely expensive. It is made from polyacrylonitrile heated and pressurized in an oxygen free environment to separate carbon atoms from the rest of the molecular structure, and manufacturing cost is high.
