Abstract

An asymmetric tape and a system and method for impregnating at least one fiber roving with a polymer resin to form an asymmetric tape are provided. The asymmetric tape includes a polymer resin, and a plurality of fibers embedded in the polymer resin to form a fiber reinforced polymer material. The fiber reinforced polymer material includes a first surface and an opposing second surface. The fibers are disposed in the fiber reinforced polymer material to form a resin rich portion and a fiber rich portion. The resin rich portion includes the first surface and the fiber rich portion includes the second surface.
