- Additional information
- A novel patented woven-nonwoven technology, developed previously by the authors, has been used to prepare natural-synthetic fibrous preforms, the composites prepared from which had good mechanical properties. The fire behaviour of these composites has been compared to more conventional glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites.
