Abstract

This paper analyzes the value-in-use of advanced fibers, especially of those, which are used to reinforce polymer matrix composites. Of particular interest in this regard are some recent fibers, such as (1) pure silica fibers derived from water glass, (2) oxynitride glass fibers, having the same high elastic modulus as SM carbon fibers, and (3) Kenaf, as well as other natural plant fibers, which are beginning to find commercial use in selected automotive composites.
