Production Technique for Hybrid Composites with Non-Woven Tissue
Seung-Hwan LEE, Seong-Kyun CHEONG and Hiroshi NOGUCHI
Abstract:The hybrid composites with non-woven tissue (NWT) are developed to improve the mechanical properties of conventional FRP composite materials. The hybrid prepreg with NWT consists of unidirectional FRP prepreg and NWT prepreg. The NWT prepreg consists of NWT and resin film. The NWT has short fibers, discretely distributed with in-plane random orientation fibers. A production technique to decrease voids in NWT is proposed in this paper. The mechanical properties of hybrid composites are measured, and then the validity of present technique is confirmed.
