Sounds interesting. Might give it a try. One question though..is it intelligent to assume that "my" carbon fiber will only be one component of the binary composite I need to create? Now where's that old pair of jeans...;-) ?

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I know what you mean by the exotics deforming. But under the load specified it is very unlikely that say carbon fiber will deform plastically. So I think it is a good choice albeit an expenisve and hard to source material. I have friends who got carbon fiber...

The composite will be made up of alternate layers of the 2 materials bonded togther (somehow?). I already took a look at the specs (mod of rigidity, density...etc) of different kinds of woods and some platics but am still very unsure :-(...what type of bonding material can I use for my composite?

Advice needed for composite... Hello guys. Newbie here this is my first post ;-). I am a 2nd year Eng. Mech. Univ student. An assignment for one of the credits is to design a composite material (made up of 2 materials)of rectangular section width 30mm and thickness 20mm, length 400mm. The...
