This paper highlight the results of a study conducted on the influence of the matrix (resin system) properties on the impact tolerance of carbon fibre reinforced laminate manufactured with non-crimp fabric. Five liquid resin systems and one resin film were investigated with biaxial NCF and unidirectional prepreg tape. Most of the impact tolerance drawback of biaxial NCF-laminate versus unidirectional prepreg was determined to be related to the laminate morphology and the matrix system.
