This book links polymer matrix chemistry to structural performance and structural performance to applications that include aerospace, military, automotive, energy, infrastructure, electronics, and biomedical. It reviews key matrix properties for composite applications and analytical techniques for measuring those properties.
Reviews key matrix properties for composite applications and analytical techniques for measuring key matrix properties
Focuses on critical matrix properties (such as thermal, impact and dielectric) which dictate application performance
Includes discussion of natural fibers and nanoreinforcing materials along with commercial technologies
