Discontinuous unidirectional prepreg makes complex parts possible
- Discontinuous unidirec -tional prepreg makes complex parts possible ..p66 - A sustainable cobalt solution for the UPR industry ........................p69 - Micro-pullwinding and micro-pultrusion - technology and application p71 - High-performance resins for pultruded composite profiles ........................p74 Pepin Associates, Inc. has developed a discontinuous, unidirectional preimpregnated reinforcement tape (unitape) which has the ability to stretch up to 30% to form complex shapes. The material, called DiscoTape™ (subject of provisional patent), has shown promise in the formation of composite parts with complex curvatures normally precluding the use of unitape without cutting and darting.
sile modulus is also close to continuous reinforcement values. This would allow use of DiscoTape in structures whose design is stiffness-driven such as beadstiffened shear panels. The ability of the discontinuous unitape to stretch and form complex parts, such as the hemisphere featured in Figure 1, could enable manufacturers to use unitape where it hasn’t been used in the past. Radomes are one possible application for this material. These fibre-reinforced composite structures are used to protect radar equipment on aircraft and rotorcraft during flight. The extreme environments these structures must endure during all aspects of flight, especially for military platforms, require strength and durability. However, these same struc-

he material can be made with glass or carbon fibre prepregged with epoxy resins or thermoplastics. Variations of fibre lengths and segmentation patterns have been investigated to optimize this prepreg for a variety of applications.
For composite structures
Two project engineers at the company have conducted research on the unitape to ascertain its mechanical properties as compared to continuous tape, determine its forming limits and evaluate its use for composite structures such as keels, frames, fairings and radomes. Mechanical testing shows that while there is a knockdown of 0° tensile strength in the discontinuous unitape, interlaminar shear and in-plane shear remain relatively consistent with those properties of continuous unitape.
