Random and aligned short fibre composite

Hi,
I would like to study the interfacial slip phenomenon in short fibre composite and compare the behaviour of randomly oriented short fibre composite and aligned short fibre composite.
The materials of matrix and fibres dont really matter as long as I can use the same for both panels, to only compare the randomization.
Do you know what kind of fabric could I use and if it is available on easycomposites ?
Thank you

I have moved your thread here to get more exposure.

What properties do you need from a  cloth?  Most woven cloths use long tows of fibres woven into the matrix.  I have not heard of anything made using short strands.
