Patent ID: 7135226

Claim:
A composite fabric material product comprising a plurality of parallel continuous fibers and a matrix material locking the fibers in place, the amount of the matrix material being about 5% to 60% by volume of the matrix material to the total composite fabric material, the composite fabric material having a tensile modulus of up to about 133,000 psi, a tensile strength of up to about 15,100,000 psi, a compressive strength of up to about 97,600 psi, a compressive modulus of up to about 14,800,000 psi, wherein the fibers in the bundle form a a fabric selected from a group consisting essentially of a unidirectional fabric and a woven fabric, and wherein the matrix material is selected from a group consisting of a polyamide resin, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a polyester, and a nylon-12.
