The manufacture processes, mechanical characterization, and nondestructive testing of composite materials are discussed together with various polymer matrices. Papers are presented on dynamic dielectric analysis for nondestructive cure monitoring and process control, rheology and packing effects in the injection moulding of long-fiber-reinforced composites, a simulation of fiber packing in flow-processed composites, the influence of interwoven configuration on mechanical properties of crossed helicoidal-filament-winding composites, and a simple flow rule for characterizing nonlinear behavior of fiber composites. Attention is also given to the specific features of the mechanical behavior of unidirectionally reinforced plastics under compression, nondestructive testing by Raman spectroscopy, flaw detection in composites using shearography, the use of a medical tomodensitometer in the nondestructive testing of composite materials, and the utilization of thermal analysis in determining the amount of polymer in composites and the extent of prepolymerization.
