Hi,

I'm working on a project at school which consist in creating a tank in Carbon fiber + Polyamid 6 composit.

My problem is that I can't find any values for the mechanical resistance and Young Modulus of the composit itself.

I found carbon fibers can resist until 3600MPa on the long side, but when mixed with the polyamid and enrolled to resist in various directions, what are typical values we can find for the mechanical resistance and Young Modulus?

Thank you very much !

Can't you get a datasheet from the manufacturer of the material, or do you have to make it yourself?

The mechanical properties depend on a lot of factors, like degree of polymerization of the matrix material, fiber length, content and sizing, and many more.

Here is one example of a commercial product:
