Abstract

Abstract A hybrid fiber-reinforced plastic composite material comprising a matrix of a plastic and, as reinforcing material, hybrid fibers consisting of inorganic fibers and at least one kind of fibers selected from carbon fibers, glass fibers, boron fibers, aramide fibers and silicon carbide fibers having a carbon core, wherein (a) the inorganic fibers contain silicon, either titanium or zirconium, carbon and oxygen and are composed of (i) an amorphous material consisting substantially of Si, M, C and O where M represents Ti or Zr, or (ii) an aggregate consisting substantially of ultrafine crystalline particles with a particle diameter of not more than 50 nm of β-SiC, MC, a solid solution of β-SiC and MC and MC 1-x , and amorphous SiO 2 and MO 2 , where M is as defined and x is a number represented by 0<x<1, or (iii) a mixture of the amorphous material (i) and the aggregate (ii), (b) the composite material has an interlayer shear strength of at least 9 kg/mm 2 , and (c) the composite material has a flexural impact value of at least 250 kg;cm/cm 2 .
