Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Composites are materials in which two or more distinct materials are combined together but remain uniquely indentifiable in the mixture. Composites maintain an interface between components and act in concert to provide improved specific or symbiotic characteristics not obtainable by any of the original components acting alone. This encyclopedia is a compendium of all types of composite materials, covering their analysis, formulation, design, evaluation, processing, manufacture, testing, and reliability.
