Thin strands of plastic
The simple answer is yes. CFRP is Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic. So this is what is known as a composite material. It is a polymer/plastic that has its properties improved by the addition of carbon fiber.

There are different online websites available the sell plastic optical fibers. Some of these websites include molex, Anchor Optics, Fiber Optics, and Fiber Optic Products.
The fiber part - its plastic.
Some are but others are not made from plastic but from other synthetic polymers.
This may not be correct, but metal/plastic is a special plastic like fiber that is even stronger then metal and lighter, too

A plastic composite is a material that has a polymer or plastic as the matrix reinforced with another material - usually a fiber. So CFRP - Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic is one such example. These materials are used on newer aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing Dreamliner 787. There are other examples including polyesters with galss fiber. These are known as GFRP - Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic.
The difference between plastics and fibers is how they are made. Plastic is made by melting particles together. Fiber is made by weaving materials together like cotton thread. Plastic is nonporous and fiber is porous.
