Description
The idea for this book came out of the EURESCO Conference on High Performance Fibers: Euroconference on Fiber Fracture in 2000. Many
of the books that are currently available look at different aspects of fiber processing, properties, or applications, but none are focussed
on the fracture behaviour of fibers. This book presents the mechancisms and models of fiber fracture currently available for both natural
and synthetic fibers, and it is expected that increasingly there will be cross fertilization between the fields, opening new frontiers
in academic research and more competitive products for industry. It covers the following areas of fiber fracture: ceramic fibers; glass
fibers; carbon filters; metallic fibers and thin wires; polymeric fibers; and carbon nanotubes.
Audience
For Engineers and Materials Scientists researching and working with fibers.
