thermoplastics (moulded plastic) often has fillers in it to change its charecteristics....glass or carbon fibre (picture 3mm long) to make it more rigid. its mixed in the molten plastic before being injected into a die.
carbon fibre parts are mostly carbon fibre with a thermoset plastic (think resin which sets in a chemical reaction- like araldite) binding it all together.
