Explain in terms of microstructure and bonding in graphite


Graphite fiber is made by modifying the microstructure into long, thin ribbons in which the carbon sheets lie in the plane of the ribbon. The ribbons are then rolled, somewhat as one would roll a newspaper, to form the graphite fiber. While ordinary graphite is weak, graphite fibers are extremely strong when pulled along the fiber axis. Explain in terms of the microstructure and the bonding in graphite.
