In the present study, a novel CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) is proposed by using soft epoxy resin as a matrix. The elastic modulus of the soft epoxy resin strongly depends on the strain rate. Firstly, CFRPs were fabricated with the soft epoxy matrix and a standard carbon woven fabrics. The carbon woven fabrics of 5 layers were laminated to be quasi-isotropic. Then, static tensile and three point bending tests were conducted to evaluate the tensile and bending moduli of CFRPs. The experiment reveal CFRPs with soft epoxy matrix show high tensile modulus and low bending modulus which depends on the deflection velocity.
