Abstract

A method of through-thickness reinforcing a laminated material is disclosed, in which a reinforcing element is coated with a thermoplastic layer. The reinforcing element is inserted into a base material, and a matrix material, such as a polymeric, is included in the base material. The combination is then cured, or heated, such that the thermoplastic layer and the matrix material diffuse into each other, thereby forming an interphase region around the reinforcing element. This interphase region helps to prevent cracks from propagating from the reinforcing element.
