Abstract
Technical fabrics, especially glass tows, are increasingly used for reinforcement of composites, due to its good mechanical properties. In this paper, glass fiber-based tapes containing special types of resins (in pre-condensate form) were prepared. This could be used for the preparation of composites using precise winding technique. The tensile properties of the tapes made from glass were investigated. Measurements were focused on the breaking force, deformation at break and initial modulus. It was also found that the durability of the tapes was sufficient for long term storing. The major benefit was the avoidance of resin penetration in the winded structure. This was achieved by the tight arrangements of fibrous phase which is very complicated. Also, the resins were loaded by suitable types of nanoparticles to enhance mechanical properties. The results showed a significant difference between the samples.
