A carbon/glass fiber hybrid composite with an epoxy matrix, featuring a strategically layered design combining T300 carbon fibers in the primary load direction with E-glass cross-plies at ±45° for torsional and impact resistance. This hybrid architecture balances the high stiffness and low weight of carbon fiber with the cost-effectiveness and impact toughness of glass fiber, making it ideal for applications where weight savings and performance matter but full-carbon construction costs are prohibitive. The prepreg layup process and moderate cure temperature (120°C) enable consistent quality production suitable for aerospace secondary structures, automotive chassis components, and sporting goods where a compromise between performance, durability, and manufacturing cost is optimal.
