A UNIDIRECTIONAL REINFORCEMENT A METHOD OF PRODUCING A UNIDIRECTIONAL REINFORCEMENT AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a unidirectional reinforcement and a method of producing a unidirectional reinforcement. The unidirectional reinforcement of the present invention may be used in all such applications where high quality and strength is required. The unidirectional reinforcement of the invention comprises transversely arranged discrete Z direction resin flow facilitating means (128) running back and forth between the longitudinal edges of the sheets and traveling between the groups of rovings and between the top and bottom surfaces of the unitary web (120).
