Prepreg and carbon fiber lack of knowledge

General Composites Discussions Products Talk
#1

Hello to everybody,
As I start to understand what I should be understanding and I don’t ,instead of feeling smarter and smarter I feel dumber and dumber so I have some questions / problems :
that I would like to share with you:

  1. I don’t know if some carbon fibber is better than some other carbon fibber … and who sells the good one and who the bad one

  2. I have exactly the same problem with resins , only bigger !! at the sites where they are sold they don’t even say speak of stiffness or tensile strength or they don’t say which one is for what application - flexible ,stiff etc.

  3. And again the same goes for prepregs ! For example I want to find a flexible prepreg for making of body armor parts but I could find anything till now…

search the forum… there must be answers x10 to all those questions.

Research the carbon and resins on the material supplier websites or call them and talk to a sales person. You have to know what you want and need in order to not wast peoples time. Also maybe you don’t need carbon but some other material with different properties?
