Composites: Advances in Manufacture and Characterisation

Dedicated to the study of advanced composites, the articles collected in this volume encompass various constituent materials, types of reinforcement and manufacturing techniques, as well as characterisation methods and objectives.Split into three main groupings this book includes articles on the topics of: fibre performance improvements and assessment of the respective processes, composite performance enhancement through novel manufacturing techniques and finally, characterisation; including investigations into mechanical performance, thermal characteristics and electromagnetic interference shielding in polymers reinforced with glass fibres and carbon nanotubes.You will find Composites: Advances in Manufacture and Characterisation to be a valued addition to your literature on the topic. The book forms an indispensable resource for use by scientists and engineers in the higher education sector as well as to members of private agencies and industrial organisations concerned with new material production for advanced technological applications.
