A viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composite (VPPMC) is produced by applying a tensile creep load to polymeric fibres, the load being released before the fibres are moulded into a polymeric matrix. The viscoelastically recovering fibres... Read More about Towards optimisation of load-time conditions for producing viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites.
