Chingwe chapadera chopangidwa ndi kaboni. Ili ndi mawonekedwe a kutentha kwapamwamba, kukana kukangana, kuyendetsa magetsi, kutsekemera kwamafuta ndi kukana kwa dzimbiri, ndipo mawonekedwe ake ndi a fibrous, ofewa ndipo amatha kusinthidwa kukhala nsalu zosiyanasiyana. Chifukwa cha kapangidwe kake ka graphite microcrystalline kamangidwe ka fiber axis, imakhala ndi mphamvu zambiri komanso modulus motsatira upangiri wa fiber. Kachulukidwe ka kaboni fiber ndi wotsika, kotero mphamvu yake yeniyeni ndi modulus yake ndi yayikulu. Cholinga chachikulu cha kaboni fiber ndikuphatikiza ndi utomoni, chitsulo, ceramic ndi kaboni ngati zida zolimbikitsira kupanga zida zapamwamba zophatikizika. Mphamvu zenizeni komanso modulus yeniyeni ya carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites ndipamwamba kwambiri pakati pa zipangizo zamakono zomwe zilipo.
