Abstract

A carbon-fibre/PA-12, hybrid yarn, woven fabric material has been processed into laminates and mechanically tested to evaluate its suitability for high performance applications. The processing technique used was compression moulding. A process parameter investigation was carried out to determine the most suitable values of pressure, temperature and time at temperature required to economically produce laminates of high quality. Laminates were subsequently produced for a detailed material-testing programme. It was found that the hybrid yarn material exhibits excellent mechanical properties, particularly tension, open-hole tension, fracture and impact properties.
