- The use of non-woven thermoplastic fibre veils to toughen the interlaminar region in composites was explored by Hogg in earlier work which used material parameters (fibre mechanical properties, matrix and bond strength) to compare different veils. Here we have, for the first time, focused on the architecture of the veils as a parameter and embraced the methodologies common in the field of paper science to characterise their structure. This provides an added dimension to our understanding of how veils operate and will ultimately allow optimised veils to be designed to provide superior interlaminar toughening for future damage tolerant structures.
