Hi everyone,

Is it possible to achieve a modulus of elasticity 800 ksi using common glass fibers such as E glass, R glass or S glass, not carbon fibers? I am looking for a composite I profile instead of aluminu I profile within some limits on dimensions of the I section. I need a high modulus because of deflection limit.

Any reply is appreciated.

Glass/epoxy unidirectional tape as a modulus ~6 msi; glass/epoxy fabric has a modulus ~ 3 msi.
