These composites have improved tensile strength and tensile moduli that exceed that predicted by composite theory under the rule of mixtures. The in situ composites can be used in woven preforms.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/60/345/058/0.pdf8639615428/372525/132525/425525/434525/437525/444525/537C08L67/02C08L67/00C08L77/12D01F6/96D01F6/46D01F6/90D01F6/92Y10T428/29275834560
