## Notice

This procurement seeks to evaluate a set of non-oxide ceramic composite pre-preg materials by assessing their ability to consolidate and to form curved geometries. This assessment will be completed by analysing each pre-preg's handleability during lay-up, consolidated thickness, residual macro-porosity, and the presence of any defects.
