Film-stacking technology

Film-stacking technology under elevated temperature and pressure... 

The polymer chosen in the UK for preliminary investigations was the PES, due to its ease of manufacture, its low out-gassing in space and light weight, Hollaway and Thome (1987). Prepreg sheets of the polyethersul-phone/carbon fibre (PES/CF) composite were moulded by the technique of film-stacking technology.

Fibre and film stacking Low technology route ease of production Good matrix distribution Can be applied to commodity commercial polymer fibres or fabrics and films Vf limited by thickness of matrix film Usually uses more than one type of polymer... 

Multilayer film (PVD technology) A film structure that contains two or more discrete layers of two or more different materials. Many layers can be formed by alternating deposition between vaporization sources. Examples An X-ray diffraction (XRD) grating of W-C-W-C-W Ti-Pd-Cu-Au metallization. Also call a Stack.
