Abstract
The pultrusion technique is a closed mould system for the manufacture of fibre/matrix composites. It is one of the few fully automated continuous processes used in the reinforced plastics industry. The technique is finding increasing application in industries that range from the manufacture of domestic products to aircraft construction.
