Description
The
Concise Encyclopedia of Composite Materials, first published as a hardbound edition in 1989, has been updated and revised
and is now available as a paperback for individual researchers requiring a fundamental reference source for this dynamic field.
Since
1989, research involving composite materials has advanced rapidly and this revised edition reflects those changes with the addition of
new articles, including recent work on nanocomposites, smart composite materials systems, and metallic multilayers.
The 67 articles
included in this revised edition are presented in alphabetical order and each provides an introduction to one aspect of composite materials.
Every article is extensively cross-referenced and includes a full bibliography. The volume contains over 250 photographs, drawings and
tables as well as exhaustive subject and author indexes.
The comprehensive breadth of coverage of the field of composite materials
makes this volume an invaluable source of reference for materials scientists and mechanical engineers involved in industrial and academic
research into the fabrication, properties and applications of composite materials.
