About this book

Composite Materials is a modern reference book, tutorial in style, covering functions of composites relating to applications in electronic packaging, thermal management, smart structures and other timely technologies rarely covered in existing books on composites. It also treats materials with polymer, metal, cement, carbon and ceramics matrices, contrasting with others that emphasise polymer-matrix composites. This functional approach will be useful to both practitioners and students. A good selection of example problems, solutions and figures, together with a new and vibrant approach, provides a valuable reference source for all engineers working with composite materials.

Reviews

From the reviews:

"This book offers something very different and complements our traditional processing and mechanical properties approach to the teaching of composite materials to aerospace, mechanical, civil, and materials engineering students. It has my high recommendation…" Materials Today

"There are many books on composites, most of which focus on processing techniques … . Deborah Chung takes a very different approach … . The arrangement and presentation of the chapters in the book is logical and thoughtful. … I enjoyed reading it so much that I finished the whole book on a recent flight … . It has certainly widened my horizons as to what composites can do … . It has my high recommendation as a good book … ." (Yiu-Wing Mai, Materials Today, September, 2003)
