China cracks the code for manufacturing high-performance carbon fiber

A high-performance carbon fiber project has recently come on stream in Datong City, Shanxi Province, marking China's first domestic large-scale production of T1000-grade carbon fiber. 

A one-meter bundle of T1000 grade carbon fiber weighs barely 0.5 grams can support a load of more than 200 kilograms, roughly equal to the combined weight of three adult men.
