This document describes a manufacturing method for processing unidirectional carbon fiber/epoxy resin impregnated sheet and tape into multi-ply broadgoods and tape produced on an automated cross-plying machine. Broadgoods or tape of two or more ply configurations may be processed, where ply orientations of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° (as examples) may be automatically layed in a programmed sequence. In all configurations, the 0° ply direction is parallel to the length of the broadgoods roll or sheet, or tape.
This specification covers two styles of glass cloth impregnated with a polyester resin system, the resin being processed to a “B” stage condition. Either style of glass may be used.

This specification covers an adhesive compounded from modified epoxy resins in ready-to-use film supplied in rolls or sheets, either supported by mat or by woven monofilaments or unsupported.
This specification covers a heat-reactive, thermosetting, epoxy resin matrix in the form of a semi-solid. The resin matrix thermally cures to an epoxy polymer.
