Assessment of the variability of unidirectional prepregs at multiple scales by Silvia Gomarasca, S. M. A. Hossein, Ran Tao, Benedikt Boos, Christoph Queck, Daniel Peeters, Bilim Atli-veltin, Martin Gurka, Clemens Dransfeld

“…This research aims to extend these findings via a multiscale approach, considering scales of observations, from microscopic (single fibre) up to mesoscopic (dimension of tape) length scale, to generate further insight into the microstructural organisation of thermoplastic prepreg tapes. By exploring the ability of XCT imaging for carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites at different voxel sizes, the work aims to identify the limitations of the use of different scales of observations to capture features of microstructures and their propagation from micro- to mesoscale level. …”
