Abstract

Journal of Thermoplastic Composite Materials, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 2230-2248, May 2026.
Unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites (PMCs) have great potential for engineering applications. The effective properties can be further tailored by incorporating a secondary reinforcement into these materials. This study investigates ...
