Cfrp Plastic

why does carbon fiber have a low density?

It is also to do with CFRP (reinforced plastic carbon fiber) is for Physics A-level courses.

I'm not sure how you can dig into the chemistry of this because it is a physics class, but the molecular level, these multi-carbon molecules are extremely robust, but at the same time not very bulky. Think of it this way, the coals connect to a skeleton, in essence, that is a bit like sub-structures of large buildings. Engineers and architects to use materials light and power engineer them (in terms of how it is built) or the building will collapse under the weight intense. Similarly, due to the design of the moecules carbon, they may have strength and low density. Check out "Bucky Balls" for more info.
