Abstract A model hybrid glass-matrix composite has been studied. The system investigated was Corning Code 1723 glass matrix (an alkaline earth aluminosilicate glass) with silicon carbide whiskers and Nicalon® fibres. It was found that a 10 wt % whisker loading of the matrix gave optimum composite properties. The optimized hybrid composite, when compared to an optimized non-hybrid composite, showed increases in microcrack yield stress from 330 to 650 MPa, interlaminar shear strength from 47 to 130 MPa, and transverse strength from 12 to 50 MPa, while the ultimate strength decreased from 965 to 900 MPa.
