Description
Polymer matrix composites are finding increasing number of applications due to their high weight-saving potential as well as unique characteristics, such as high strength-to-density ratio, fatigue resistance, high damping factor, and freedom from corrosion. While many textbooks are available on the mechanics of polymer matrix composites, few cover their processing. Processing of Polymer Matrix Composites fills this gap. The book focuses on the major manufacturing processes used for polymer matrix composites and describes process details, process parameters and their effects on properties and process-induced defects, and analytical and experimental methods used for understanding process conditions. The book describes fibers, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers, and interface characteristics that are important from the standpoint of both design and processing. It also emphasizes the applications of process fundamentals for both continuous fiber and short fiber polymer matrix composites. In addition the book considers quality inspection methods, tooling, and manufacturing costs and environmental and safety issues.

I bought it for my mum's birthday and she loves it. It has good information and images explaining things in excellent detail. It arrived well packaged and in new condition as advertised. Simplybestprices was the cheapest I found on the internet, so I went with them. The only negative was with the shipping, not the product. I ordered in Dec 2024 and it took many weeks before getting shipping details and then the delivery date kept changing and moving later. It eventuallly arrived early Feb.

Buy your books here. These people ship things in a box. I can't even explain how great that was to get my new book in a box. Every big bookseller on ebay ships to you in a plastic bag. And if you ask them to ship it to you in a box they get really stupid. They can't do it. "A box? What are you talking about? A box, preposterous!" This seller is where I'm looking first when I come to eBay for a book. Shame on all you sellars anywhere shipping books in plastic bags and bubble wrap sleeves.

Brand new condition it arrived in, on time & the packaging was very well done making sure by the seller that it would arrive the way it got sent. Bright pages just add to the overall quality. Fair pricing for what's going around & brand new! What a bonus! Notifications all the way very pleasant customer service, a really good shopping experience I had here at 'simplybestprices' I will be back thankyou.
