The hypotheses that reactive uncured, thermoset bicomponent fibres can be prepared and mixed with reinforcing fi- bres and ultimately used in preparation o f a composite was tested and is described. I t is thought that such fibres have the two potential advantages: ( 1) to enable manufacturing with pai1icle doped resins e.g. nanocomposites which add functionality to composites and (2) increased efficiency ofstructural composite manufacturing by increasing the level of automation. The structure of the thermoset fibres comprises of a sheath of thermoplastic and a core of uncured the1moset resin. Once manufactured, the fibres were wound with a reinforced fibre onto a plate, consolidated and cured. The resulting composite was examined and compared to other composites made with the same manufacturing method from commercially available materials. The results show that a laminate can be produced using these reactive bicomponent fibres. The resin system successfully impregnates the reinforcing carbon fibres and that the thermoplas- tic separates from the epoxy resin system during consolidation. In comparison to reference material, the bicomponentlaminate shows promising characteristics. However, the processes developed are currently on a lab-scale and consid- erable improvement of various bicomponent fibre properties, such as the strength, are required before the technology can be used on a larger scale
