About this ebook
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Materials and Manufacturing covers both fundamental concepts and recent developments in this important research field. The chapters are systematically organized starting with an introduction to composite materials followed by in-depth discussions on their reinforcements, polymers, and novel manufacturing techniques. Additional chapters are then included on characterization of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, environmental considerations, design and analysis, joining and repair, and durability and performance. Every chapter has a specific function that adds to the reader's understanding of these materials, covering everything from their basic principles to sophisticated uses in real-world applications. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, and engineers, for polymer chemists, and manufacturers, and all those working in the research and development of sustainable polymer composite materials. - Covers fundamental concepts and recent advances in synthesis, processing, functionalization, characterization, and applications of fiber-reinforced polymer composites - Covers the latest developments in novel manufacturing methods across various industries - Contains case studies of real-world applications, including selection, fabrication and design as well as sustainable production practices and disposal - Covers environmental and ecological aspects, regulations and standards, recycling, and life cycle assessment - Discusses commercialization, economical, and societal aspects, and future prospects
