Abstract

Textiles have a lot to do in the manufacturing of composite materials.

The challenge is -how to -make a textile preform that suits a special

composite material manufacture for a specific requirement of

applications which is composed of too many areas. The high

performance materials like glass. Carbon and aramid fibres can be

used in textile composites manufacturing being made in different

structures and preforms to give the most popular properties. They can

be used separately or in a combination to provide the optimum or

even the most acceptable balance of properties dealing with strength

and stiffness through the fibre axis or in different directions

according to their end – use. The matrices should also be selected

carefully to suit the requirement of the end-use of the composite and

their life time should be put into account. Since composites can be

made to suit any application by tailoring their properties, textile

preforms with different structures can be produced as a raw material,

with the most popular properties being guaranteed in the first steps of design of the preform. Natural fibres can also be to used to make

composite materials making benefit from their different properties,

with specified matrix materials of synthetic or natural origin.
