The fabrics consist of at least two threads which are woven together : the warp and the weft. The weave style can be varied according to crimp and drapeability. Low crimp gives better mechanical performance because straighter fibres...

What are the fibre properties? The fibre reinforcements provide composites with mechanical performance: excellent stiffness and strength, as well as good thermal, electric and chemical properties, while offering significant weight savings over metals. The range of fibres is extensive. The graphs below highlight the main criteria for fibre selection. Tensile Strength Tensile Modulus What is a prepreg? A prepreg consists of a combination of a matrix (or resin) and fibre reinforcement. It is ready to use in the component manufacturing process. It is available in: Unidirectional (UD) form (one direction...
