SUMMARY Some of the progress made in using Raman microscopy to examine the structure and micromechanics of polymer and inorganic fibres is reviewed. Examples of how the technique has been used to verify some of the theories of composite reinforcement are then given. Finally, a specific example of how Raman microscopy has been used, in conjuction with other approaches, to understand the micromechanics of the microbond test, which is often used to measure interfacial shear strength in composite systems, is presented.
