The transverse compressibility of a commingled roving composed of continuous glass and polymer fibers was measured and compared with the respective transverse compressibility of a homogeneous polymer roving and of a homogeneous glass roving. The transverse compressibility of each homogeneous roving was fitted with an existing model developed for aligned fibers. The model parameters for each of the two homogenous roving were then applied in parallel and in series to reproduce the transverse compressibility of the commingled roving. The configuration applying the homogeneous polymer and glass roving in series reproduced best the transverse compressibility of the studied commingled roving.

Key Words: commingled roving • compressibility • polypropylene • glass • continuous fibers
