A one-stop reference work spanning the whole composites science field, covering such topics as fiber reinforcements and general theory of composites, polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, carbon matrix composites, conventional manufacturing methods, additive manufacturing methods, test methods, nondestructive evaluation, smart composites, design and application, nanocomposites, multifunctional materials and smart materials. Detailed coverage is also given to the development and application of the principles of multi-scale mechanics and physical model-based design methods and the incorporation of mechanisms of deformation and fracture into predictive design equations that are useful for the design engineer. Extensive coverage of topics related to nanocomposites, including nanoscale reinforcements, such as single-wall and multi-wall nanotubes, graphene nanoplatelets, and nanodiamonds are also covered.
• Includes up-to-date coverage of important commercial, consumer and aerospace/defense applications, including structural, mechanical, electronic, and medical uses of composites
• Covers recent technologies with a special focus on nanocomposites and multifunctional materials, important for many areas, including structures and electronics
• Authors from a range of industry, commercial and academic backgrounds
• Builds upon two successful previous editions – the ultimate trustworthy and reliable compendium of decades of knowledge in this subject
• Outstanding list of authors and editors who are widely respected in their subject areas
