Keywords: tensile strength; compressive strength; flexural strength; density; stiffness

Carbon/Dyneema hybrid plates are produced to test the influence of the amount of damage tolerant Dyneema fiber and to see the influence on standard static properties. Panels loaded in bending could be manufactured either at lower mass or with much higher impact resistance.
