Abstract: IMPROVED UNIFORMITY OF FIBER SPACING IN CMC MATERIALS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A pliable tape is generally provided that includes: a plurality of fibers forming unidirectional arrays of tows encased within a matrix material, with four adjacent fibers in the tape define an interstitial spacing therebetween. The matrix material comprises filler particles dispersed between adjacent fibers in the tape. In one embodiment, the filler particles have a median particle size defining the interstitial spacing such that the interstitial spacing is about 0.75 to about 1.1 of the median particle size. In another embodiment, the filler particles have a median particle size that is related to the surface-to-surface spacing between adjacent fibers, with the ratio of the surface-to-surface spacing between adjacent fibers and the median particle size being about 0.3:1 to about 1:1. Methods are also provided for forming a ceramic matrix composite. FIG. 1
