It is desired to produce a continuous and oriented carbon fiber–reinforced epoxy having a modulus of elasticity of at least 83 GPa (12 × 106 psi) in the direction of fiber alignment. The maximum permissible specific gravity is 1.40. Given the following data, is such a composite possible? Why or why not? Assume that composite specific gravity may be determined using a relationship similar to Equation 15.10a.

	Specific Gravity	Modulus of Elasticity [GPa (psi)]
Carbon fiber	1.80	260 (37 × 106)
Epoxy	1.25	2.4 (3.5 × 105)

(15.10a)
