“…The novel carbon/glass hybrid thermoplastic composite rods consisting of unidirectional polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber bundle (T700SC-24000-50C, Toray Industries, Inc.), braids of E-class glass fiber bundle (ECG751/01ZY-95T, Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd.), and thermoplastic epoxy matrix were developed by the Komatsu Seiren Co., Ltd. Three types of hybrid rods having different carbon/glass ratios were fabricated and described as 24K1P (one carbon fiber bundle of 24,000 filaments), 24K2P (two carbon fiber bundles of 48,000 filaments), and 24K3P (three carbon fiber bundles of 72,000 filaments). Detail information about the hybrid rods can be found in the literatures [11,12] and are shown in the Supporting Information.…”
