Graphite fibres

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-005006",
  "term": "Graphite fibres",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Carbon fibers that have undergone a high-temperature heat treatment process to achieve a highly graphitic structure. This treatment aligns the graphene layers along the fiber axis, resulting in high stiffness, strength, and electrical conductivity. These fibers are widely used in advanced composite materials for aerospace and sporting goods.",
