“…Composite material, which are obtained by combining the superior properties of two or more materials are used to improve properties such as corrosion resistance, thermal resistance and low weight [7]. Composites structures are considerably more complex than any other structure since composite materials are comprised of two constituents, reinforcement and matrix, which preserve their self-properties during the combination process.…”

Composite materials combined with thermoset or thermoplastic resin with glass or carbon reinforcements are indispensable materials for structural parts used in the aerospace industry. Structural materials that have high strength/weight ratio together with low cost, and short processing time are preferred in aerospace. Considering these features, thermoplastic composite materials are excellent candidates for future aircraft materials due to their high strengths, design flexibility, and corrosion resistance. In this study, the advantages of composite materials in the aerospace industry are discussed and the manufacturing processes of thermoplastic composite materials are reviewed.

“…Since their introduction for various industrial, defense, and engineering applications, fiber reinforced composites have been extensively utilized based on their performance criteria and their ability to be tailored with defined properties. ,,,, In recent years, the technological advancements, rising environmental awareness, and cost management strategies have forced industries to consider the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the products, e.g., composite materials, from design stage to post use recycling of products. − These LCA strategies help in designing efficient and durable products, with minimum burden on the ecosystem via recycling and reuse post service operations. ,,− …”

“…Here, maximum attention is paid toward linking the design of the product to composite technology and environmental science. In these strategies, the “recycling” may not be “environmentally friendly”, but can it serve the purpose of waste minimization. − The following points are considered during the Life Cycle Assessment, which in turn are applicable to composites as well:…”

“…Another example is the utilization of composite panels for acoustic and thermal insulations, e.g., in buildings; here the production unit consists of 1 m 2 of the composite laminate, whose main function is to provide the support to structure via its stiffness. Here, the functional unit considers the service rendered by the composite laminate for given period of time, e.g., years, and thus, it is expressed as m 2 /year. ,, …”

Technological growth in advanced ammunition and weapons has led to development of protective antiballistic composites, which are mostly based on aramid fibers, as they absorb high impact energy, arising from penetrators. Enhanced performance of aramid fibers (modulus ∼ 112,400 MPa) is attributed to their compact molecular structure, hydrogen-bonding, high crystallinity, and high density (∼1.44 g/cm3). Methodologies such as layer-by-layer, shear thickening, yarn pull-out, and surface functionalization via nanomaterials have been reported for modification of aramid fibers, which are widely used with thermosets like epoxy (due to process-friendliness). Recently, researchers are exploring thermoplastics with aramids, due to their higher toughness, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. Modification of aramid fibers is mostly performed using nanomaterials, e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silk fibroins, SiO2, and ZnO, for enhancing their performance and minimizing fiber buckling under load. This Review presents advances in modification of aramid fibers using nanomaterials with emphasis on thermoplastics for protective applications, their stress transfer mechanisms, and life cycle analysis and concludes with their recycling/recovery methods.
