The book begins with a blueprint of the international history and development of carbon fiber, clearly defined terminology for all forms of solid carbon products, and the properties for elemental carbon and its allotropic forms. It then elaborates upon precursor materials, relevant surface treatment, and sizing for each carbon fiber type available in the world market. Several chapters also examine the types of matrices, their properties, and fracture mechanics of thermoset and thermoplastic polymers, carbon, glass, metal, and ceramics matrices. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarbon Fibers and their Composites\u003c\/b\u003e reveals straightforward guidelines for the day-to-day operations of a carbon fiber plant, such as safety testing, quality control, design of equipment, packaging, air flow\/dust control, maintenance, and environmental policies. Based on over 30 years of experience in the field, the author offers insight and possible solutions to the problems associated with production and testing of carbon fibers and their related composites. He details the use of analytical chemistry techniques, instrumentation requirements, and statistics to evaluate the results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarbon Fibers and their Composites\u003c\/b\u003e offers an excellent clarification of how carbon fibers yield reinforced composites, their physical and chemical characteristics, the diverse manufacturing techniques for each type, and the advantages they offer to a variety of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0824709837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780824709839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.22h x 7.26w x 2.54d","brand":"Peter Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086986686719,"sku":"9780824709839","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25e67ce3-bbef-41bc-99a6-69bb95bb335f.jpg?v=1769097648","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carbon-fibers-and-their-composites-peter-morgan-9780824709839","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
