- 500,000 PSI - tensile strength of carbon fiber [1]
- Carbon fiber and glass fiber have comparable tensile strength, but carbon fiber is stiffer while glass is more flexible.
- Glass fiber is much stronger than steel in tensile strength - [2]
- Conclusion - if continuous fiber rope is affordable - it is worthwhile to embed that in plastic for extremely high tensile strength.
It is 28 cents per foot, so not affordable. [3] - China sourcing - $200/ton of glass string - [4]
