AB - This paper presents a comprehensive series of mechanical tests performed on core-filled hybrid microbraids and composites manufactured using those microbraids as the reinforcing phase. Tensile tests performed on dry microbraids revealed the dependence of the mechanical properties on the bias angle of the fibres. During tensile loading conditions, the unidirectional core failed first, the bias yarns contained the failed core and shared the load until final failure occurred. The observed saw-tooth stress vs. strain curved can be attributed to multiple fractures of the inner core. The trends witnessed during testing the dry microbraids were very similar to those seen during tensile testing the composites.
