layers of Kevlar fabric in this panel. The density of Kevlar fibre,
nominal thickness of Kevlar fabric, density of polyetherimide,
and area density of Kevlar fabric are 1.44 g/cm 3 , 0.40 mm, 1.27 g/
cm 3 , and 300 g/m 2 , respectively.
5. Find out the density of the matrix in a 6-mm- thick carbon fibrereinforced composite. The density of carbon fibre, nominal
thickness of carbon fabric, and area density of carbon fabric are
1.8 g/cm 3 , 0.25 mm, 1.27 g/cm 3 , and 225 g/m 2 , respectively.
6. Why is compression moulding suitable for the processing of
thermoplastic as well as thermosetting composites?
