Carbon fibers are made almost entirely of graphite. Carbon fiber composite, sometimes referred to as "carbon fiber", is made of carbon fibers and a matrix material, which is usually a plastic such as epoxy.

What matter is carbon graphite?

pure carbon. its the same as diamond


What are some of uses of graphite?

carbon and graphite are one in the same, graphite is a form of carbon a use for graphite is the lead in your pencil (it's not actually lead, it's graphite) and it is also a good lubricant ;)


A diamond and your pencil lead graphite are made of this same element?

graphite in a pencil and diamond are from carbon .both are the allotrope of carbon


Do diamond and graphite form the same product when burnt?

No, diamond and graphite do not form the same product when burnt. Diamond will convert into carbon dioxide gas, while graphite will also convert into carbon dioxide gas.


Is graphite a silicate or carbon?

Graphite is carbon.


How are diamond and graphite made the same?

They are not made the same- but they come from the same element- carbon. However, carbon can take different crystal shapes. One of those is graphite, a very different one is diamond.


Are carbon and graphite same material?

Yes. Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. Allotropes are composed of the same element but the arrangement differs. Diamond and fullerenes are also allotropes of carbon. Allotropes of carbon differ in the arrangement of the carbon atoms. The structure of graphite enables it to be used in pencils (the "lead") and as a lubricant, but the arrangement of carbon in diamond makes it the hardest substance known on the earth.


Why are diamonds and graphite not the same mineral?

They are the same mineral: carbon. The difference is in their molecular architecture.


What is the difference between carbon graphite and graphite?

Carbon graphite refers to a composite material made of carbon and graphite, often used in high-performance applications like aerospace. Graphite, on the other hand, is an allotropic form of carbon with a layered structure, known for its lubricating properties and use in pencils and electrical applications.


Why do the freezing points of graphite and carbon are same?

Graphite and carbon are both made up of carbon atoms arranged in a specific crystal structure. The freezing point of a substance is determined by the forces between the atoms or molecules. Both graphite and carbon atoms have strong covalent bonds, resulting in similar intermolecular forces, and therefore similar freezing points.


Graphite is an allotrope of what element?

Diamond, graphite and carbon black are the most common allotropes of CARBON


What can exist in more than one form in the same state iron neon iodine or carbon?
