对于复合材料系统来说，设计是制造的一种使能技术，而制造是设计的一个关键要素。本文将探讨先进复合材料，尤其是连续纤维增强材料的这种关系。研究的主要课题包括聚合物基复合材料中纳米结构的设计，尤其是复合材料系统的增韧；设计接口/界面，以制造耐用复合材料；设计层方向，以制造无缺陷的复合材料层压板；以及耐用复合材料设计的制造参数选择，以及这些参数与性能之间的权衡。

For composite systems, design is an enabling technology for manufacturing, and manufacturing is a critical element of design. The present paper will explore this relationship for advanced composite materials, especially continuous fiber reinforced materials. The primary subjects addressed include the design of nano-structures in the polymer matrix of polymer composites, especially for toughening of the composite system; design of interfaces/interphases to enable manufacturing of durable composites; design of ply orientations to enable manufacturing of defect-free composite laminates; and choice of manufacturing parameters for design of durable composites, and tradeoffs of those parameters vs. performance.
