Carbon-based materials

Carbon-based materials are substances primarily composed of carbon atoms, which can form a variety of structures such as chains, rings, or layered sheets. Examples include graphite, diamonds, carbon fibers, and graphene. Their unique arrangements give them exceptional properties like high strength, flexibility, electrical conductivity, and thermal stability. These materials are widely used in industries ranging from electronics and aerospace to medicine and energy storage. Because carbon is versatile in bonding, carbon-based materials can be engineered for specific applications, making them essential in modern technology and materials science.
