Discontinuous and Aligned Fiber reinforced composites

Even though reinforcement efficiency is lower for discontinuous than for continuous fibers, discontinuous and aligned fiber composites are becoming
increasingly more important in the commercial market. Chopped glass fibers are
used most extensively; however, carbon and aramid discontinuous fibers are also
employed.These short fiber composites can be produced having moduli of elasticity
and tensile strengths that approach 90% and 50%, respectively, of their continuous
fiber counterparts.
