Abstract
A reinforcing article includes a porous substrate layer separating a plurality of parallel first continuous fiber elements spaced apart from each other and extending along a first direction from a plurality of parallel second continuous fiber elements spaced apart from each other and extending along a different direction. Each first and second continuous fiber elements include a plurality of parallel and co-extending continuous fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin.
Claims17
A reinforcing article comprising:
- a porous substrate layer;
- a plurality of parallel first continuous fiber elements spaced apart from each other and extending along a first direction and fixed to the porous substrate layer, each first continuous fiber element comprising a plurality of parallel and co-extending continuous fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin;
- and
- a plurality of parallel second continuous fiber elements spaced apart from each other and extending along a second direction different than the first direction, each second continuous fiber element comprising a plurality of parallel and co-extending continuous fibers embedded in a thermoplastic resin, and the plurality of parallel second continuous fiber elements are fixed to the porous substrate layer,
- wherein the porous substrate layer is disposed in the spaces between the plurality of parallel first continuous fiber elements and in the spaces between the plurality of parallel second continuous fiber elements and separates the plurality of parallel first continuous fiber elements from the plurality of parallel second continuous fiber elements.
