Abstract
A composite material includes a fibrous reinforcement and a polymer matrix. The polymer matrix includes two interpenetrating phases, namely a thermoset phase and a continuous thermoplastic phase. The thermoset phase and the thermoplastic phase form a matrix microstructure. The matrix microstructure includes a thermoplastic matrix formed by the thermoplastic phase. The matrix microstructure includes a multitude of thermoset particles formed by the thermoset phase. The thermoset particles have dimensions in a range between 0.1 μm and 10 μm.
