Abstract:
A composite article including fiber tows and a network including material drawn or pulled between the fiber tows. The network forms a physical barrier reducing propagation of cracks in the composite article. Exemplary structures described herein are the first to use a novel cellular architecture to toughen resin infused composites and create a continuous through thickness reinforcement that does not induce fiber breakage.

Claim (Index 13):
An integrated aircraft structure, comprising:\n a skin, a stiffener, and an interfacial region between the skin and the stiffener, wherein: the interfacial region comprises a composite article including: a plurality of fiber tows, and a network comprising layers connected by pillars, wherein:\n each of a plurality of the pillars are drawn from one of the layers and pass through a different space between the fiber tows so as to connect the one of the layers to another of the layers, and \n the network forms a physical barrier reducing propagation of cracks in the composite article, and \n the interfacial region comprises a portion of the skin, a portion of the stiffener, and/or an interfacial layer between the skin and the stiffener.
