Abstract:: Several characterization methods of testing the performance of different levels of fiber reinforced polymers were overviewed, including the macro and micro mechanics, thermal analysis and microscope methods, etc.Among which, the macro mechanical tests were the most commonly used for testing the basic material properties. The micro mechanics method was used to test the bonding strength between matrix and fiber of material. Thermal analysis method was used to study the thermal physical and dynamic characteristics of composite matrix. Microscope method was used to test the internal elements material composition, structure and morphological changes means with high-tech. Furthermore, a brief prospect on the future development was proposed. The results show that microscope method is the intuitive and fastest, and develop rapidly in recent years. In addition, many other methods are available to research the performances of polymer
