Carbon fiber can refer to carbon filament thread, or to felt or woven cloth made from those carbon filaments. Carbon fiber is most notably used to reinforce composite materials, particularly the class of materials known as graphite reinforced plastic. This class of chemical additive is used in high-performance vehicles, sporting equipment, and other demanding mechanical applications; a more thorough discussion of these uses, including composite lay-up techniques, can be found in the carbon fibre composite article. The chemical compound also finds use in filtration of high-temperature gases, as an electrode with high surface area and impeccable corrosion resistance, and as an anti-static component in high-performance clothing. Many high end frames for road bikes and mountain bikes are made of carbon fibre reinforced composite. Also, many road bikes made of aluminum have carbon fibre reinforced composite seat posts, handlebars and forks for reduced weight. Some string instruments, such as violins and cellos, use carbon fibre reinforced composite bows. This is an alternative to the more common wooden bows. Some carbon fiber product that include carbon fiber helmet, carbon fiber sheet, carbon fiber motorcycle helmet and others are available in the market.
