How light is carbon fiber?
Carbon fiber has a typical density of 1.750 grams per cubic centimeter, equals 1750 kilograms per cubic meter, equals 1.01156 ounces per cubic inch. Carbon fiber is lighter than Aluminum given the same parameters, with regular plastics being lighter than carbon fiber but measurably weaker.
What are the advantages of a carbon fiber hood?
The Advantages of a carbon fiber hood are that it makes the car lighter because carbon fiber is a stronger and lighter material than the material tradition car hoods are constructed from.
What one is lighter in weight carbon fiber or aluminum if put on a car as a spoiler?
Carbon fiber would be lighter than the same structural rigidity in aluminum
What is the difference between a carbon fiber and GRP?

It's just as much about the build as it is about the material. A poorly engineered carbon fibre frame can be heavier than a well engineered aluminum frame. But, if both frames are made equally well, then the Carbon fibre frame should be lighter.
How is Carbon Fiber jewelry made?
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.

Why isn't carbon fiber used to make footballll helmets even thought it is stronger and lighter than polycarbonate the standard material for footballll helmet shells?
Carbon fiber is a lighter and stronger material to use and would theoretically be an ideal material to use for a football helmet. The problem is that carbon fiber has poor impact resistance. The University and Oregon University worked on a project to make a complete uniform out of carbon fiber. Article below. http://www.carbonfiberguru.com/2010/01/23/oregons-carbon-fiber-footbal-helmets/
What is Carbon fiber usage in car industry?
