Unidirectional carbon fiber fabric is a type of carbon reinforcement that is non-woven and
features all fibers running in a single, parallel direction. With this style of fabric, there are no
gaps between fibers, and those fibers lay flat. There is no cross-section weave that divides the
fiber strength in half with another direction. This allows for the concentrated density of fibers that
provide maximum longitudinal tensile potential-greater than any otherweave of fabric.For comparison,
this is 3 times the longitudinal tensile strength of structural stee at one-fifth of the weight density.
