Comingled Carbon Fibre is an innovative material which may offer the potential for lower-cost, higher volume composites manufacture. Our project will advance the manufacturing readiness of Comingled Carbon Fibre (CFF) technology in the UK. Through this innovation in Carbon Fibre Materials &amp;amp; Manufacturing, we aim to increase manufacturing output, productivity and value capture in the UK.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
