Boron/graphite prepreg

Boron/tungsten fiber applications include the use of filaments and of boron/tungsten fiber reinforced prepreg tape, aluminum matrix composites, and boron/graphite structures. The major applications for these structures are found in the aerospace market and about 25% in sporting goods markets [36]. SiC/carbon fiber reinforced products include aluminum, titanium, and ceramic matrix composites. Major applications for these structures are also found in the aerospace market, minor uses in the industrial market [37]. 

High-modulus graphite and carbon fibers, aramid fibers and ECPE fibers are playing a more and more important role in RPs. Boron filaments, with outstanding tensile strengths, are usually used in the form of prepreg tapes and have been primarily evaluated for the aerospace and aircraft industry.
