Fiber Technology for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

As material technologies develop, composite materials are becoming more and more important in a range of applications such as transportation, construction, electronic, and sporting goods, the defense industry, and other areas of research. Access to information on fiber technology for composites has previously been limited but this book provides a comprehensive review on fiber-reinforced composites and their manufacturing techniques. After the introduction to fiber technology, subsequent chapters will discuss the mechanics of fiber composites as well as the different types of surface modification. Several types of fibers are then discussed in detail, including glass, carbon, aramid, basalt, ceramic, and natural fibers. The closing chapters analyze the use of biotechnology for green composites, nanofibers for fiber-reinforced composites, and design and optimization of fiber composites. The final chapter is an overview on the future outlook of fiber technology for fiber-reinforced composites. Fiber Technology for Fiber-Reinforced Composites focuses on a broad range of different fiber types used in composite manufacturing and includes contributions from leading experts working in both industry and academia.
