HYBRID WOVEN TEXTILE FOR COMPOSITE REINFORCEMENT

摘要

A hybrid, woven textile material that can be used in the manufacturing of fiber- reinforced composite materials. The hybrid textile material is a woven fabric composed of unidirectional fibers interlaced with strips of non-woven fibers in a weaving pattern. In an embodiment, the hybrid textile material is porous or permeable with respect to liquid resins used in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) processes and a preform formed from this textile material can be infused with liquid resins during such RTM processes.
