One of the most interesting developments in composite materials
technology during the past decade has been the attempt to displace
thermosetting resins from their position as the natural matrix in
'advanced' composites for sUl;h fields as aerospace. Dr McMahon
gives some indication of the nature of this challenge in his
chapter on fibre-reinforced thermoplastics. He acknowledges the
problem of their low fibre contents, with the associated
possibility of inadequate mechanical properties, especially in
compression; and draws attention to the way in which the lack of
suitable teSI methods for composites in compression has caused
difficulties in assessing the latest thermoplastics composites in
this respect. It is therefore of special interest that Professor
Piggott deals with the whole question of compression tesllflg of
composites in Chapter 4. On the positive side, reinforced
thermoplastics seem to be much more damage-tolerant than
thermosets. This is clearly an advantage that will not be lost on
the aircraft industry. The subject of damage repair to FRP is one
of substantial concern; the wider question of defect detection and
assessment is discussed authoritatively by Reifsnider and Henneke
in Chapter 3, which focuses on the technique of thermography.
