high strength high modulus carbon fibre cloth

T700 high strength high modulus carbon fibre cloth

The strength of T-700SC carbon fibers is 4900 MPa and that of the epoxy matrix is estimated to be around 70 MPa. The most basic property of materials consisting of carbon fibers and epoxy is that they have different material properties from those of the individual materials. The strength of a composite is usually considered in terms of how much load it can resist before it suffers total failure. This breaking strength is the point at which the resin undergoes catastrophic breakdown and the reinforcing carbon fibers break. However, before the UTS was reached, the laminate will reach a stress level where the carbon fibers break or debond away from the matrix; these carbon fibers cannot withstand the high strain, and microcracks occur than spread through the resin matrix
