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 24):
A composite article, comprising:\n a network comprising a first layer and a second layer connected by a plurality of pillars; and a plurality of fiber tows between the first layer and the second layer, wherein:\n each of the plurality of the pillars are drawn from the first layer and pass between at least two of the fiber tows so as to connect the first layer to the second layer, and \n the network forms a physical barrier reducing propagation of cracks in the composite article.
