A method and apparatus for growing crystals in a reactor vessel, wherein the reactor vessel uses carbon fiber containing materials as a structural element to contain the materials for growing the crystals as a solid, liquid or gas within the reactor vessel, such that the reactor vessel can withstand pressures or temperatures necessary for the growth of the crystals. The carbon fiber containing materials encapsulate at least one component of the reactor vessel, wherein stresses from the encapsulated component are transferred to the carbon fiber containing materials. The carbon fiber containing materials may be wrapped around the encapsulated component one or more times sufficient to maintain a desired pressure differential between an exterior and interior of the encapsulated component.
