When you heat glass enough to almost melt it, it becomes a gooey, gluey substance,
like very stiff slime. In that condition, it's rolled flat to make window-glass, or spun
on the end of a rod to make cups and bottles, or blown up like a balloon to make
bottles with very thin necks.
Also when glass is in that condition, if you grab a little pinch of it (with tongs!)
and slowly pull it away from the main glob, it stretches way out and becomes
very thin before it finally breaks. It can be stretched to where it almost has the
consistency of cotton candy or fine hair, and that's the material used in
fiberglass home insulation. When it's stretched not quite as thin as that, to the
thickness of a thick sewing thread or a nylon fishing line, it's quite flexible, and
in this condition, a plastic jacket is formed over it, just like a piece of wire, then
several of them are jacketed into a single cable and used for "fiberoptic" data
communication ... a pulsed bright infrared light, injected into one end with a
laser diode, travels very nicely through several miles of this glass thread to be
received at the other end of the cable.
So "fiberglass" is glass that's been melted and stretched until it's no thicker
than all those other things we've been calling "fiber" for hundreds of years.

Carbon nanofibers are thick Multi-Wall NanoTube (MWNT) carbon structures with less than 1% (mass) of Ni present.

Yes, carbon fiber is indeed flammable and does burn. Carbon fiber is slightly expensive but it known to be very strong and durable.
yes carbon fibre fire proof
Carbon fiber is formed when carbon atoms are aligned with a fiber and bonded together into crystals - carbon fibers are then bundled together, forming a tow, which may then be woven into fabric.
You can purchase a carbon fiber watch online from retailers such as Amazon. Once on the website, type "Carbon fiber watches" into the search field at the top of the page and press enter to bring up the watches.

Carbon Fiber, yes.
Carbon is non metal as it does not have any metallic properties.
Basically because Carbon is a relatively light element and carbon fiber is only made of carbon atoms
carbon fiber costs more than steel
what are the elements of fiber
As far as carbon fiber composites go, yes, quite easily.
Carbon fiber sheets are actually laid into a mold that molds the outside shape of the carbon fiber. Inside, an inflatible bladder maintains the inside tubular shape. One the carbon fiber is placed inside a "pressure cooker" (under pressure and under high heat), the carbon fiber hardens into it's tubular shape.
No
This depends on the allotropic form of carbon. Please specify the type of carbon.
