Abstract

In this tape (15), the fibers are discontinuous and have a length distribution such that the mean fiber length, that is to say the mean length of 50% of the fibers in a specimen, is between approximately 40 and 70% of the length of the longest fiber in the specimen, the fibers being combined by means of a resin (10) or of an adhesive having a fugitive nature. Application to the production of components made of composites.
