AB - Conventional carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) possess high specific strength and stiffness, can provide good chemical resistance and achieve long fatigue lives. However these materials are relatively brittle and have a low strain to failure and so structural failure can be catastrophic with little warning. In order to enhance the ductility of CFRP and change its catastrophic failure mode into a progressive one, carbon fibre tows with different failure strains were carefully selected and combined together into intra-tow hybrid reinforcement by using a gas-flow-assisted commingling process. This hybrid reinforcement was used to manufacture a polyamide-12 matrix composite using a polymer powder suspension impregnation method. By controlling the manufacturing parameters (speed and air flow rate in commingling process), a hybrid composite with significantly improved failure characteristics was obtained. Compared with corresponding single-fibre type composites, this hybrid composite has an improved tensile failure strain and still retains good tensile strength and stiffness properties.
