  • HOMOGENEOUS AND STRETCHABLE HIGH MODULUS MATERIAL STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20140170364
    Abstract: A hybrid fabric comprises in one direction high modulus elongated elements and in another direction low modulus elongated elements and further low modulus elongated elements keep the high modulus elongated elements at a uniform distance. The low modulus elongated dements have an elongation at break of more than 10% in order to allow stretching of the fabric in the other direction while maintaining the high modulus elongated elements at a uniform distance. The hybrid fabric is particularly suitable to form a two-dimensional or three-dimensional shaped structure. The hybrid fabric may be used in a carcass of a tire.
