do you have data for the material properties of the various chopped strand mats on the site after being combined with polyester resin, data for combining with epoxy resin would also be appreciated
in particular
density
tensile modulus
compressive modulus
(failing these a general youngs modulus)
ultimate tensile strength
ultimate compressive strength
poissons ratio
any help would be greatly appreciated

CSM is rarely used as a "High performance" laminate so as a result we have struggled to find the data you want online. I imagine it probably exists in paper format and just hasnt migrated onto online as most of the traditional users of CSM will already be aware of the material properties.
We have been able to find some representative data for 450gsm CSM in a Polyester resin based laminate with 31% of the matrix being glass.

T
Tensile Strength IS03268/DIN53455 Mpa 108
Tensile Elongation IS03268/DIN53455 % 1.8
Tensile Modulus IS03268/DIN53455 Mpa 7800
Flexural Modulus ISO 178 Mpa 6770
Flexural Strength ISO 178 Mpa 204
Flexural Elongation ISO 178 % 3.4
The only way to get more data would be a
pproaching
the manufacturer directly of the specific
chopped strand matt that you want to use and seeing if they
hold a electronic file they can send or scan a paper copy.
