Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

The invention is related to a method of weaving (or placing) filaments to create microvascular channels into fiber-reinforced polymer composites at regular intervals during fiber fabric weaving process. The invention; reduces the production cost of fiber-based industrial composites containing microvascular channels without decreasing the composite strength. Microvascular channels created in composite structures have many application areas. The most important of these are biomedical applications, laboratory on a chip, applications related to devices (lab on a chip) that integrate one or several laboratory functions on a single integrated circuit from only millimeters to a few square centimeters to achieve automation and high-throughput scanning, composite automotive industry, Technical textile weaving sector, wind turbine blades, all kinds of critically important composite equipment and parts, wearable technical composite products sector, electric batteries, self-healing for the defence industry, thermal heat exchanger and magnetic composite applications are the application examples to the some of it.
