Resin selection criteria are derived using a structured methodology consisting of an upward integrated mechanistic theory and its inverse (top-down structured theory). These criteria are expressed in a 'criteria selection space' which can be used to identify resin bulk properties for improved composite 'toughness'. The resin selection criteria correlate with a variety of experimental data including laminate strength, elevated temperature effects and impact resistance.
