It is 0.25
One example is in tennis rackets. They are usually made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic. They have very high strength to weight ratio.
They are acronyms which refer to carbon and glass fibre reinforced polymer respectively. GFRP is more commonly known as Fiberglass. For more information see the related links.
fibre glass.
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.

Sometimes composites are better than the traditional material because they enhance the properties of the traditional materials. e.g. Plastic has useful strength and ridgity, it is lightweight and is good at electrical insulation but by adding other materials you can create fibre-reinforced polymers

Fibre reinforced plastic is often used in construction, automotive, marine and aerospace. It's made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. Some examples of those fibres are glass, aramid, carbon and basalt.
