Time–temperature equivalence in the tack and dynamic stiffness of polymer prepreg and its application to automated composites manufacturing

A recently developed peel test designed to simulate the automated tape lay-up (ATL) process was used to measure tack and dynamic stiffness of newly developed ATL prepregs. Resin was extracted from the prepreg process before impregnation of the fibres. Isothermal small amplitude frequency sweeps were...
