ʻO ka pulupulu kalapona he mea fibrous i hana ʻia me nā mea kalapona. Loaʻa iā ia nā pōmaikaʻi o ka māmā, ka ikaika kiʻekiʻe, a me ka ʻoʻoleʻa kiʻekiʻe. Ua hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka aerospace, ka hana kaʻa, nā mea haʻuki, a me nā kula ʻē aʻe. ʻO ke kumu o ka fiber carbon ka mea nui e pili ana i ke ʻano o nā ʻātoma kalapona, ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka fiber, ka hana fiber, a me ka hui pū ʻana. ʻO kēia mau hiʻohiʻona e hana maikaʻi loa i ka carbon fiber a hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā ʻano āpau. ʻO ka carbon fiber kahi mea māmā akā ikaika i hoʻohana mau ʻia i nā noi like ʻole, e like me ka aerospace, automotive, nā mea haʻuki, a me ke kūkulu ʻana. Hana ʻia ia me nā kaulahao lahilahi o nā ʻātoma kalapona i ulana pū ʻia i mea like me ka lole.

He nui nā pono o ka carbon fiber ma mua o nā mea kahiko e like me ke kila a me ka alumini. ʻOi aku ka ikaika ma mua o ke kila, akā ʻoi aku ka māmā a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka alumini. He mea kūpono kēia no nā noi kahi o ka ikaika, ʻoʻoleʻa, a me ke kaumaha nā mea nui.

ʻAʻole kūpaʻa ka carbon fiber i ka corrosion a hiki ke kū i nā wela kiʻekiʻe. He mea kūpono kēia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā wahi paʻakikī e like me ka aerospace a me nā ʻoihana automotive.

ʻO kekahi o nā hemahema nui o ka carbon fiber kona kumukūʻai. ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai ma mua o nā mea kuʻuna, e kaupalena ana i kona hoʻohana ʻana i kekahi mau noi. Eia kekahi, paʻakikī ka hana ʻana o ka carbon fiber a koi i nā mea hana kūikawā a me nā loea.

ʻOiai ke kumu kūʻai a me nā pilikia o ka hana ʻana, he mea nui ka carbon fiber no nā ʻoihana he nui. I ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana o ka ʻenehana, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka fiber carbon a hoʻohana nui ʻia i nā ʻano noi.
