Description Recent developments in high performance thermoplastic resins and their composites are described in this book, and the benefits and limitations
of these emerging materials are assessed for aerospace and other applications. Discussions on the performance of neat and continuous
fiber reinforced thermoplastic resins in terms of their properties and environmental and chemical resistance are provided.
Audience
Plastics manufacturers and processors.
