As material technologies develop, composite materials are becoming more and more important in transportation, construction, electronics, sporting goods, the defense industry, and other areas of research. Many engineers working in industry and academics at universities are trying to manufacture composite materials using a limited number of fiber types with almost no information on fiber technology, fiber morphology, fiber properties, and fiber sizing agents. This book fills that gap in knowledge.
- Unique in that it focuses on a broad range of different fiber types used in composites manufacturing
- Contains contributions from leading experts working in both industry and academia
- Provides comprehensive coverage on both natural and nanofibers
Academic and industrial researchers working in Material Science, Polymer Science and Technology, Automotive and Aerospace Engineering, Defense, Energy, Construction and Sporting goods
