Toughening mechanisms in cost-effective carbon-epoxy laminates with thermoplastic veils: Mode-I and in-situ SEM fracture characterisation

This study investigates the influence of thermoplastic non-woven veils on the interlaminar fracture energy and toughening mechanisms under mode-I dominant loading conditions in out-of-autoclave resin-infused carbon fibre-epoxy laminates. Two different non-woven micro-fibre veils, Polyetherimide (PEI...
