PS: Isn't CF an abrev. for CFRP?

Carbon Fiber vs Carbon Fiber reinforced polymer/plastic (I have seen both) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_%28fiber%29) Wiki link

Carbon fibers are usually combined with other materials to form a composite. When combined with a plastic resin and wound or molded it forms carbon fiber reinforced plastic (often referred to also as carbon fiber) which is a very high strength-to-weight, extremely rigid, although somewhat brittle material. However, carbon fibers are also composed with other materials, such as with graphite to form carbon-carbon composites, which have a very high heat tolerance.
