I am trying to locate a material (possibly unobtanium!) with a high Youngs Modulus and low density.
Ideally we are looking at a Youngs Modulus of ~200GPa and a density of <4,000kg/m3, however we have a little wriggle room on either.
Any bright ideas as I have come up empty. Closest I can find is CFRP materials which aren't ideal for this application (long shaft with dynamic sealing on OD).
Thanks.
