    Hybrid laminates.

    To Rodney I have not experianced swelling with any nylon matrix. I have used N11, N12, N6, N66, N6/10 many time in the last 19 years plus in continious fiber composites. In a composite there is usally less than 50% by volume resin and it is less of a factor. I am developing a new prepreg...

    Hybrid laminates.

    You may want to think out of the box. Many thermoplastic resins offer great visco elastic properties and can be very tough. I would consider a Nylon 66 on carbon or glass. A hybird fabric could also be developed using the glass and carbon. The molding temperture would be 200F less than PEEK.

    Plastic molding: ULTEM 2300

    The best way might be to compression mold it with continious fiber (glass) reinforced Ultem. Parts of this size can be molded considerably cheaper then injection molding if you need 100's. Performance is much inproved also. Check out www.americanmatrixcorp.com as a source for this type of...
