Description
This Concise Encyclopedia draws its material from the award-winning Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology,
and includes updates and revisions not available in the original set. This customized collection of articles provides a handy reference
for materials scientists and engineers with an interest in composite materials made from polymers, metals, ceramics, carbon, biocomposites,
nanocomposites, wood, cement, fibers, etc.
Audience
Faculty and postgraduate research students in materials science and technology and related disciplines, especially physics, chemistry,
engineering and biomedical science; also researchers and staff in industry and government
