Abstract

The use of commingled yarns is one of the more promising routes for producing structural thermoplastic composites. The textile processes available enable faster manufacturing and tailoring of the fiber architecture of preforms. Development of this technology is pushed by significant interest from, for example, the transportation industry. This paper reviews work done on commingled materials, including yarn manufacturing and preforming, modeling of impregnation and consolidation, and mechanical properties of the composites.
