Particular emphasis is placed on current production processes, parameters and finishing and functionalization methods for improving their properties and the problems associated with the testing of fibers. Fibers covered include carbon, glass and basalt fibers, metal fibers, such as copper and steel, fibers coated with silver or gold, and nitinol. In addition to pure inorganic fibers, the book looks at organic fibers with a high level of inorganic content, such as cellulosic fibers.
Including contributions from leading experts from universities, research institutes, and producing companies, this book assists materials scientists and engineers in the composites, automotive, textile and medical industries to more efficiently and effectively select fibers for a range of different applications areas.
- Presents a thorough introduction to inorganic fibers, such as carbon fiber and nanotubes, graphene, glass fibers, and many more, including the fundamentals of production, processing and finishing of each fiber type
- Includes coverage of a range of application areas of inorganic fibers to assist in product development
- Keeps researchers up-to-date by providing information on the latest developments in this field, thus supporting further research
Academic researchers and Industrial professionals involved in the development of new products using fibers/fiber reinforcement. Masters and PhD students in materials sciences, composites, textiles and biomaterials courses
