The paper aims to explore potential higher value applications of discontinuous carbon fibre tows. A vibration-assisted dry alignment method is presented to align the discontinuous fibre tows between conventional dry reinforcement mats/fabrics to fabricate cost-effective hybrid composites. Its viabil...
