“…These spaces in the preform could also affect matrix infiltration during composite fabrication, for instance, directional porosity distribution in the preform, infiltration time and fiber alignment during consolidation. 13,[26][27][28] Preform angle Generally, the w, f and zi angles can be affected by weave pattern, whereas the z angle can be affected by the weaving processing parameters, such as beat-up and take-up rate and the number of layers.…”

The aim of this study was to develop three-dimensional (3D) fully interlaced and semi-interlaced representative woven preform structures and to understand the effects of weave pattern and number of layers on 3D woven structures. Various 3D woven preforms were developed. Data generated from these structures included yarn angle, yarn-to-yarn space and density, yarn length and crimp. It was shown that the weave patterns affected the 3D woven preform structures. The yarn-to-yarn spaces of the 3D fully interlaced and semi-interlaced structures were high compared to the traditional 3D woven structures (orthogonal, through-the-thickness and angle interlock) in fabric width due to the interlacement. The 3D plain, twill and satin structures resulted in warp angle (w) in fabric length and filling angle (f), and interlaced z-yarn angle (zi) in fabric width due to the warp-filling and warp-z-yarn interlacements. The weave patterns slightly affected the yarn angles. On the other hand, it was observed that the number of layers considerably affected the z-yarn arc length and the z-yarn length in thickness in the 3D woven structure. The interlacement on 3D plain, twill and satin woven structures resulted in warp crimp, filling crimp and z-yarn crimp. The crimps in the 3D structure fully interlaced and semi-interlaced woven structures slightly depended on the types of weave pattern and the number of layers.Keywords three-dimensional representative fully interlaced woven preform, three-dimensional plain woven preform, threedimensional twill woven preform, three-dimensional satin woven preform, z-yarn crimp, textile composites

“…The thickness of the thin resin layer, which separates the fiber bundles in all three directions, was taken as 0.04 mm. The fiber bundles in the warp, weft and z-directions were treated as fibrous composites as described in Section 2.2, and the fiber volume fraction was determined from the densities reported by Qiu et al (2001) for the woven composite samples and the dry fabric (Table 1). This led to an overall fiber volume fraction of 0.42, and a volume fraction for the yarn in the bundle of 0.57.…”

“…A novel approach to reduce the density of composite materials may be to purposely introduce voids or a gaseous phase into the matrix by foaming [6]. Microcellular foaming of polymers will result in structures having cell sizes in the range 1-10 lm and cell densities from 10 9 cells/cm 3 to 10 15 cells/cm 3 .…”
