"I needed to find composite materials that have a specific combination of high modulus and large strain to failure. Prospector:Composites lets me quickly compare all the important fiber and resin classes using data with a high quality and known pedigree. Without Prospector, this half day task would have taken me weeks. Thanks for the great tool!"
