A periodically interleaved carbon laminate system, wherein solid thermoplastic thin layers are interleaved into each carbon ply, has been fabricated by means of an “ex‐situ” type synthesis in which the thermoset and thermoplastic components are separated and interact only at elevated temperature. The Figure shows the boundary area between the two‐phase granular and a pure epoxy‐resin structure within a single carbon ply.
