Abstract:This study compares the impact damage response and self-healing potential of unstitched and stitched glass/polypropylene (PP) fiber reinforced thermoset composite structures. The novelty of this study is weaving preforms with an intra-ply hybridization of glass and thermoplastic PP fibers and stitching these preforms with a unique stitching pattern by considering the effect of stitching fiber types (PP, Kevlar®, Dyneema®, carbon and silk) on impact damage response and self-healing potential of composites.
