Abstract
The flexibility in composite processing provides possibilities for particular types of composites using different processing technologies, depending on the product requirement. The processing of composites and the process compatibility of composites are interlinked. Process compatibility is referred to in terms of economics of production, rate of production, processing technology, selection of raw materials, processing parameters, and post-fabrication processes. As a matter of fact, all of these parameters govern the processability of composites discussed in ► Chap. 4. The success of composite product design and production lies in the process adopted for its realization.
