Table 3
Average physical and mechanical performances of different composites.
| Composite | Density | Elastic modulus (Stretching) (MPa) |
| Synthetic thermoplastic + 30% glass fibres |
1.1–1.6 | 82–220 | Moulding high pressure | 4000–6000 | Thermo setting Resin (polyester) + 30% glass fibres | 1.4–2 | 80–400 | Natural based thermoplastic + 20% flax fibres | 1.2–1.4 | 500 |
