he present paper is focused on the development of a novel technique to obtain multifunctional fiber reinforced composites. The technique is based on the use of thermoplastic veils composed of nano and micro thermoplastic fibers which preferentially dissolve upon curing in the epoxy matrix. The technique allows to control the phase morphology in the inter- and intra-laminar region of the laminates. Moreover, the selective dissolution of the fibers allow to achieve tailored dispersion of different types of nanofillers in the composites to obtain a functional graded material.
