A review is given of the development of high-performance carbon fibres, and of their properties, their composites, their applications, and service experience. The technology of advanced composites based on carbon fibres is relatively young and is till changing rapidly, with exciting new developments. With extended properties, better characterisation, imaginative combinations of materials and improved economics, advanced carbon fibre composites will expand rapidly into already established markets and create new possibilities for many years to come.
