Principles of polymer engineering
TLDR
In this article, the elastic properties of polymeric solids and their properties of rubber are discussed. But they focus on the structure of the molecule rather than the properties of the solids.Abstract:

TL;DR: In this article, the tensile and flexural properties of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced composite materials are compared. And the results show that the properties exhibited by both the natural-and synthetic fiber reinforced composites can be combined through the production of hybrid composite materials.

Mechanical characterisation of basalt fibre reinforced plastic
TL;DR: In this article, mechanical tests were carried out on comparable E-glass and basalt fiber reinforced plastic laminates, where the latter were cut by square plates fabricated through vacuum bag technology.
