Carbon Fiber is a material that is made of twisted strands of carbon fiber that are composed of carbon atoms. Carbon fiber is strong, lightweight, highly flexible, high resistance, high temperature tolerance and has low thermal expansion. Carbon fiber is used in aerospace, civil engineering military and motorsports. It is used mostly as a reinforcement material and is used as a polymer with other materials.
Uranium is a chemical element with the atomic number of 92 and the chemical symbol of U. It was discovered in 1789 by Martin Heinrich Klaproth who named the element after the planet Uranus.
