Characterization of continuous fiber-reinforced composites is examined in terms of processing, properties, and structure. Five processing and five property topics are then examined in terms of reviewing some of the historic background in these areas with the aim of identifying current issues and requirements for the future. The topics covered in the processing section are: polymeric matrix, impregnation, interfacial effects, residual stresses, and pre-preg tack. In the mechanical properties section the topics are: choice of standard, recycling and reusability, durability, environmental strength, and toughness. The paper provides a ten-point plan for future requirements.
