Abstract

In general, bulk properties of composite materials are highly dependent on the properties of both their constituent matrix and reinforcement phases (Velisaris and Seferis, 1986; Corrigan et al., 1989). The vital role in performance played by the polymer matrix has been extensively recognised (Lee and Porter, 1986). In semicrystalline TPMCs, crystallinity affects the mechanical properties of the component (Motz and Schultz, 1989a; Erhun and Avani, 1990; Jar et al., 1993; Sonmez and Hahn, 1995). (1987) and (1997) proposed relationships between mechanical properties, fracture properties and crystallinity. Crystallinity is also responsible for providing environment resistance to semi-crystalline TP polymers (Blundell et al., 1985b; Maffezzoli et al., 1993; Folkes et al., 1993). The morphology (microstructure, type, shape and size) of the crystalline structures of a polymeric material are defined by the processing conditions (Motz and Schultz, 1989a,b). By predicting the effects of processing parameters on crystallisation behaviour, it is possible to tailor the processing parameters to obtain the optimum properties.
