The thermal and mechanical properties of carbon, glass and Kevlar fibre reinforced epoxy composites are discussed, with particular reference to the behaviour of these materials at cryogenic temperatures. The effects of production techniques and various fibre arrangements are determined. Fibre-epoxy

Abstract
The micromechanical assessment of ultimate response of moulded fibre glass (MFG) composites used in structural engineering and acting at elevated temperatures is treated in the present paper. The advanced crystal simulation model of the MFGβmaterial at elevated temperatures, based on Washizu's variational principle, is presented. The numerical treatment of nonβlinear problems possibly appearing is made using the updated Lagrangian formulation of motion. Each step of iteration approaches the solution of the linear problem and the feasibility of the parallel processing FETMβsimulation approach is established. Some numerical and experimental results are presented in order to demonstrate the efficiency of procedures suggested. Copyright Β© 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A calculation of the growth of shape instabilities is presented for a rod composite microstructure. It is assumed that migration of the interface is driven by capillarity and controlled by diffusive transport, in the matrix. If the interface is faceted or if the rod fraction exceeds 20 per cent, a t
Aqueous treatments are found in many stages of wool processing. Water and heat are known to alter the chemical nature of the whole fibre. There is an incomplete understanding of the full effects of aqueous treatments on the fibre surface. This study investigates changes to the fibre surface as a re
The use of injection moulded thermoplastic composites is increasing, but withoutfillers, reinforcements, or lubricants, they are limited by their thermal behaviour. This study looks at four polymers -polyamide 46, polyphthalamide, polyetherimide, and polyphenylenesulphide -containing first glass fib
## It was proposed earlier that the additional exothermic peak observed at 350Β°C in differential scanning calorimetry of PAN fibre is associated with certain intermolecular cross linking, as well as to the aromatization of structure, which results in a better stabilized structure. It has been furt
