Summary on Grant Application Form
The programme aims to develop novel composites that can provide damage tolerance without relying on tough resins which can themselves reduce other composite properties, notably high temperature stiffness and strength. Non-crimp fabrics are textile forms which allow the microstructure of composites to be controlled in such a way as to modify the damage development process. It is intended to exploit this feature of non-crimp fabrics to produce tailored materials that provide optimum composite properties. The materials development will be concerned with both high and low temperature properties.
