Abstract: A nonwoven laid scrim includes a carrier and an angled scrim overlying the carrier. The angled scrim includes at least one first assembly of filaments and at least one second assembly of filaments. The nonwoven laid scrim has a main direction and a cross direction, the at least one first assembly of filaments is oriented at a first angle, and the at least one second assembly of filaments is oriented at a second angle. Each of the first and second angles is an off-angle measured relative to the cross direction and the first and second angles have distinct values. The nonwoven laid scrim optionally includes a uni-directional fabric including a plurality of filaments, where the carrier overlies the uni-directional fabric. At least two assemblies of filaments and a first cross direction yarn of the carrier also can define a multi-sided shape with at least three sides.

Abstract: A nonwoven laid scrim includes a first carrier, an angled scrim overlying the carrier, and a second carrier overlying the angled scrim. The angled scrim includes at least one assembly of carbon fiber filaments. The nonwoven laid scrim has a main direction and a cross direction. The at least one assembly of carbon fiber filaments is oriented at an off-angle measured relative to the cross direction. The nonwoven laid scrim optionally includes a uni-directional fabric including a plurality of filaments, where the first carrier overlies the uni-directional fabric. At least two assemblies of filaments and a first cross direction yarn of the carrier also can define a multi-sided shape with at least three sides.
