Each chapter designed as a stand-alone introduction to its topic, including detailed references for follow-up research
Discussions on the range of reinforcement forms used in commercial applications
Outline of techniques appropriate in identifying a material's micro- and meso-structures
Summary
In the past 50 years, great progress has been made in developing artificial fiber-reinforced composite materials, generally using filaments with microscopic diameters. An array of reinforcement forms can be used in commercial applications - with the microstructure being a critical factor in realizing the required properties in a material.
Microstructural Characterisation of Fibre-Reinforced Composites comprehensively examines the application of advanced microstructural characterization techniques to fiber-reinforced composites.
