TL;DR Summary: data about different types of carbon fibers' chemical properties

hi! is there any databases or informative research papers I can use for my essay? I am focusing on researching carbon fibers' chemical properties. any source regarding carbon fibers' impacts on cars or chemical properties will be useful. thanks.

Carbon fibers are just that, fibers of Carbon. Chemical properties would be the same as Carbon.

Carbon fibers are often mixed with various plastics or epoxies for added strength and resistance to deformation.

As Carbon itself is fairly inert, the plastics or epoxies would be the major concern for chemical and environmental properties (solvents, sunlight, temperature, etc.).

Cheers,
Tom
