carbon fiber is a great friction material (think race car brakes) it seems to do a better job at higher rpm of allowing the transmission to still shift.
I know this isn't a super scientific response and synchrotech would be better suited to give that side of it. But it also comes to surface area, brass/ bronze synchros have grooves in them where the top of the grove contacts the gear to slow it down or match the speeds. the carbon synchros will have a scale pattern or a woven pattern that allows more material to bite the gear and match the speed.
when uesd correctly this seems to hold up better than brass counter parts.
