Abstract
A composite tape and method of fabrication are provided which includes multiple layers and a laser-driven chemical vapor deposition (LCVD)-formed additive material in at least one layer of the multiple layers to enhance one or more properties of the composite tape. The LCVD-formed additive material is a single crystalline material and can include LCVD-formed granular material and/or LCVD-formed fiber material in the same or different layers of the composite tape to enhance, for instance, fracture strength and/or wear resistance of the composite tape.
