Summary:

In previous years, advanced polymer composite technology has been driven primarily by the needs of the military and aerospace industries. However, certain properties of composite materials (e.g., strength, light weight and energy-efficiency) have enabled their emergence in consumer and commercial sectors. As the cost of developing and producing composites has decreased, their role in novel, potentially lucrative applications has increased. This volume is a concise reference book for someone who has just started working in the composites field to gain instant knowledge, as well as to pass conte
