This project concerns the development of technologies for local hybridization in cases where it is necessary (e.g. hybridization during tow spreading). New techniques will be used as the tow spreading, hybrid unidirectional tapes or laminates combining layers of different thickness (thin and traditional thickness) and / or different nature (carbon-glass, carbon-metal). Also a task will be devoted to the use of scraps of automated carbon fiber manufacturing processes to obtain hybrid laminates. The project will include the development of analytical models, advanced simulations (using high performance computing) and microstructural inspection to acquire a physical understanding of the synergistic effects of the hybridization (not yet reached by the scientific community)
