X-ray computed tomography of a unidirectional composite tape with microporosity features

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The collection includes X-ray computed tomography measurements in 8-bit .tif format of a development-grade version of the unidirectional carbon fibre tape Toray Cetex® TC1225, manufactured by Toray Advanced Composites.

The data was acquired using a Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa at a voxel size of 0.7788 µm, with a voltage-to-power ratio of 70/5 kV/W, an exposure time of 7 s, and a 2000x2000 pixel detector operating with no binning and 4x magnification. Three scan volumes were stitched together along the tape’s longitudinal direction with a 20% overlap. The measurements were conducted at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden (NL). A .txt file summarizing the dataset description is also included.

Since multiple materials were present in the field of view of the original scan, only the region corresponding to the tape of interest has been cropped and reported here.

X-ray computed tomography of unidirectional carbon fiber composites

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The collection includes two .tif files, corresponding to two different X-ray computed tomography measurements of unidirectional carbon fibre and poly(ether-ether-ketone) tapes for automated fiber placement.

The data reported was acquired with a Zeiss Xradia 520 Versa, at a resolution of 0.7232 um, voltage-to-power ratio of 100/9 kV/W, exposure time of 6 s with a 2000x2000 pixel detector in binning mode 2 and 4x objective. Three scan volumes were stitched together in the tape longitudinal direction. The measurements were conducted at Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden (NL). A .txt file with a summary of the datasets description is also included.
