The answer is Boron fiber! Boron fibers were first discovered in 1959 and were developed during the 1960s into the first true high-performance fibers. Until that time, glass fiber was the only other high-strength fiber available in continuous lengths, and the low...

As many questions related to materials engineering, to answer that we have to understand the unit cell structure of the material, in this case, graphite.The crystal structure of graphite consists of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms arranged two-dimensionally in a honeycomb...
