Help with Carbon Fiber Areal Weight!!!

Hello everyone!

I was wondering how to determine the necessary gsm (areal weight) of Zoltek Panex 35 Uni-prepreg tape. My group and I are trying to simulate a Prosthetic foot for high activity, and we need a proof of concept. We are trying to find out what the best areal weight for that application would be. How would you determine it for such or other applications?

I apologize if this was already asked before, I just could not find anything about it.

Thanks before hand to all of you!!

The technical data sheet can be found at http://www.zoltek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Prepreg-TDS.pdf

With a product like this you would spec the weight you need and they would produce it for you.
