Orthtek
(OP)
I've only just come across this material, which is a thermoplastic crossed with carbon fibres to increase strength.
Does anyone have any more information about this? A list of properties, etc?
Thanks,
Comma.

Most common carrier resin is Nylon 6.6, but nylon 6 is also common.
The people who specialise in these compounds are, DSM in the Netherlands and in Evansville Indiana, RTP (i think in Florida) ans LNP, whom I think now belong to GE, but don't quote me on that
Depending on what properties you are looking for, sometimes long glass fibre can out perform carbon
I have quite a few old data sheets if you can tell me what you really want
