Summary:

With the aerospace and defence industries poised for growth in virtually every segment; the commercial, general aviation, military and space sectors are a 'must watch' area for businesses seeking new business and technology opportunities. Accompanying this growth, polymers will play an increasing role, with, for example, a near doubling of the aerocomposites market being predicted by 2016. Polymers in Defence and Aerospace Applications took an in depth look at how polymers are increasingly being used to meet the developing demands of this industry in areas such as weight minimisation, increase
