The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Advanced robotics and additive manufacturing of composites: towards a new era in Industry 4.0 (2021, background): “Comer et al.([186]) stated that the results of the study indicated that an optimizing of the processing parameters such as heating and cooling rates would be necessary to achieve balanced strength and toughness in the LATP composites.”
Voids in fiber-reinforced polymer composites: A review on their formation, characteristics, and effects on mechanical performance (2018, background): “Comer et al.(136) observed through micro-CT that the voids, in an unconsolidated carbon/PEEK prepreg, are highly elongated in the fiber direction (Figure 10(a) and (b)), as found in the literature.”
Processing of thermoplastic matrix composites through automated fiber placement and tape laying methods (2018, methodology): “Wedge peel test to measure mode I interply bond strength was used.(23,67,127,132,146) Although still a comparative technique, however, wedge peel test suffers from certain challenges such as the high friction between the wedge and the tap and the difficulty in relating the measured fracture toughnes”
