This invention relates to improved composite strands comprising resin, a plurality of glass fiber strands and at least one carbon fiber strand. This invention also relates to composite articles formed from the composite strand and to a method of forming the composite strands and composite articles. In the process of this invention, glass stands (1') are passed through a die (12, 13) as they emerge from a resin bath (9) to control their resin content and are wound on a rotating surface (15). Carbon strands are passed directly into the die and are wetted by the resin in the die and on the rotating surface. The composite strands of resin, glass strands and carbon strands are laid on the rotating surface to provide a fiber reinforced resin sheet which may be kept in uncured form for moulding at a later time. <IMAGE> |
