AB  - A route to manufacture hierarchical composites (HCs) based on wet powder impregnation was adapted to accommodate thermosetting matrices. The resulting carbon fibre prepregs contained as much as 13.6 vol% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the matrix and were consolidated into laminates with 50 to 55% fibre volume fraction and 6.1% CNTs by total volume. Microscopic characterisation revealed that matrix homogeneity and laminate microstructure were affected by the powder particle size and degree of tow overlap during drum winding. The interlaminar shear strength was strongly affected by the quality of the material, requiring optimization of the processing parameters to improve the laminate quality.
