Works on woven composite both thermoset and thermoplastic are numerous, however in most instances they involve the use of preimpregnated fabric. It is apparent that woven thermoplastic system has significant potential due to the combined properties such as better damage tolerence, recyclability, easy processing, storage, etc. Here work on woven thermoplastic composites based on Continuous Fiber Impregnated towpreg (COFIT) tape rather than conventional approach is reported. The influences of different woven geometry and ply effect were investigated. Correlations between different woven geometry and weave characteristics were also noted. In general, the woven composite properties are influenced by many process variables such as type of towpreg, woven geometry, number of plies etc.
