Interconnection of unidirectional fiber arrays with random fiber networks

摘要

Disclosed is a process for preparing novel multidirectional fiber arrays wherein graphite, glass or other fibers, in unidirectional arrays, are interconnected with polymer fibers. Production is accomplished by mechanical agitation of these unidirectional arrays in cooling polymer solutions. The interconnected material may subsequently be layered, impregnated with resin and laminated to yield unidirectional fiber/resin/polymer fiber composites.
