Abstract
A composite structure comprising a high tenacity fiber coated by a matrix resin is provided. The matrix resin has elongation at break of at least about 100% and tensile strength at break of less than about 50 Mpa. The composite structure can further comprise an impact-absorbing elastomeric filler integrated into the matrix resin. Also provided is a method for making a composite structure. The method includes providing a high tenacity fiber; providing a matrix resin with elongation at break of at least about 100% and tensile strength at break of less than about 50 Mpa; and coating the high tenacity fiber with the matrix resin. The method can further comprise adding an impact-absorbing elastomeric filler into the matrix resin.
