Abstract
An object of the present invention is to develop and provide a fiber-reinforced composite material having an “elongation” feature in addition to a high strength and a high elastic modulus. Further, an object of the present invention is to address problems of brittleness and peeling in the conventional fiber-reinforced composite materials. A fiber-reinforced composite material containing the bagworm silk thread as reinforcing fibers is provided.
Claims5
A fiber-reinforced composite material, containing a polymer matrix(es) and reinforcing fibers,
- wherein the reinforcing fibers comprise bagworm silk threads, and
- wherein the reinforcing fibers are placed in three or more directions onto a non-woven fabric sheet comprising the composite material.
