The structure‐deformation/failure process‐mechanical property relations of epoxies used as matrices in high performance fibrous composites are presented. Such composites are fabricated either from fiber‐epoxy prepregs or by filament winding. The parameters that affect the processing, cure reactions and the resultant chemical and physical structure of the epoxies are discussed. The deformation and failure processes of these glasses are described. The structural parameters that control the deformation and failure processes, the mechanical response and aging of epoxies are addressed and means of improving their processing and performance are described.
