Abstract
Merits of composite precursors, i.e. thermoplastic and thermoset matrices for continuous fibre composites, can only be established providing that their chemical, physical and engineering aspects are considered on three levels required for converting simple organic molecules into a composite structure that meets design requirements during its Ml service life. Following this approach, attention is paid to events spanning between 10-5 and 108 secs and involving length scales between 10-8 and 103 cm.
