Abstract
Composite materials offer a major growth market for high performance fibers. It is the reinforcing fiber which gives the composite material its superior strength and stiffness. However, many of the reinforcing fibers have deficiencies which limit the performance of the final composite material. It is vital that these deficiencies be addressed in ongoing fiber research at university and industry research laboratories. To stimulate thought on needed research, a panel discussion of these critical issues for fibers was held at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on May, 19, 1989. This first panel discussion emphasized the problems with, and opportunities for, carbon fibers.
