title = "Investigation of the strength and failure envelopes of non-crimp glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites based on in-situ polymerized cyclic oligomers",
abstract = "This paper focuses on the fabrication and mechanical characterization of thermoplastic composites manufactured via hot compression method out of prepregs including non-crimp glass fiber reinforcements melt coated with cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT). Both biaxial and uniaxial composite laminates were tested for mechanical performance. Strength parameters (X, X',Y, Y', S) of polymerized CBT (IPCBT) laminates were reported through the tensile and compressive testing of (0°)12 and (+45°/-45°)6s laminates. Whereas the performance of biaxial laminates (0°/90°)6s were tested under tension, flexural and impact loading conditions for literature comparison. The ultimate strength comparison of unidirectional (UD) IPCBT laminates was evaluated through parallel testing of thermosetting vinyl ester (VE) matrix laminates.",
