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.

Voids are inevitable in the fabrication of fiber reinforced composites and have a detrimental impact on mechanical properties of composites. Different void contents were acquired by applying different vacuum bag pressures. Ultrasonic inspection and ablation density method were adopted to measure the ultrasonic characteristic parameters and average porosity, the characterization of voids' distribution, shape and size were carried out through metallographic analysis. Effects of void content on the tensile, flexural and interlaminar shear properties and the ultrasonic characteristic parameters were discussed. The results showed that, as vacuum bag pressure went from -50kPa to -98kPa, the voids content decreased from 4.36 to 0.34, the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient decreased, but the mechanical strengths all increased.
