| Summary |
"Ageing of composites is a highly topical subject given the increasing use of composites in structural applications in many industries. Ageing of composites addresses many of the uncertainties about the long-term performance of composites and how they age under conditions encountered in service." "With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Ageing of composites, will be a valuable reference guide for composite manufacturers and developers. It will also serve as a source of information for material scientists, designers and engineers in industries that use composites, including transport, chemical processing and medical engineering."--BOOK JACKET |
