Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing fiber composites impregnated with a thermoplastic resin to be used as stab and ballistic composite structures. If compared with the manufacturing processes of the state of the art, the method according to the present invention enables to prepare stab and ballistic resistant composite structures in a more efficient way by reducing the complexity of the manufacturing machine and at a lower cost.
