Manufacturing of Polymer Composites (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780748770762)

While techniques and methodologies for composites design are relatively well established, the knowledge and understanding of post-design issues lag far behind. This leads to designs and eventually composites with disappointing properties and unnecessarily high cost, thus impeding a wider industrial acceptance of polymer composites. Manufacturing of Polymer Composites meets the need for knowledge and understanding of post-design issues. While the book enables the reader to become fully comfortable with composites as a possible materials choice, it also provides practicing engineers and designers with sufficient knowledge about manufacturing-related issues to permit them to avoid common pitfalls and unmanufacturable designs.
