Abstract
A fibre rope (4) comprising a plurality of fibre strands (3), each strand formed by twisting a tow (2), the tow comprising a plurality of fibres (1) of a non-polymeric, non-metallic and high modulus material, e.g. carbon or glass, with the tow (2) being twisted with a first twist density to form each of the fibre strands, and the plurality of the fibre strands (3) being twisted with a second twist density to form the fibre rope (4), wherein each fibre strand (3) has a helical angle with respect to the elongate axis (A) of the fibre rope of at least about 15°. Moreover, composite materials comprising the fibre rope (4) are also described, as are methods of producing the rope (4) and composite material.
