The textile preforms play a key role in providing the mechanical properties and gives the idea about selection parameter of preforms to improve the quality and performance of laminates. The main objectives of this work are to study the effect of noncrimp fabric preform structure in final properties of laminates. It has been observed that the multiaxial preform give better mechanical properties of laminates as compared to woven and biaxial fabrics. This study investigated the effect of different noncrimp glass preform structure on tensile strength, bending and compression properties of glass laminates. The different woven, biaxial and multiaxial fabrics with similar GSM used to manufacture the laminates using polyester resin. The structural and mechanical properties of preform and laminates were studied using standard methods. It has been observed that the glass fabric geometry, including type of weaves, warps and filling density and number of layer plays significant role in deciding mechanical properties of laminates.
