I am looking for some feed back on explosive decompression on glass fibre, aramide and carbon fiber wires.

I have several different types of wires made up of the above materials all around 4mm diameter. I have to test them for explosive decompression from 10,000 psi in a gas and I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with explosive decompression in composites.

Regards,

John
