About this title

Synopsis:

This book focuses on the manufacturing technology and materials suitable for the mass production of composite materials, which are today being used in a rapidly expanding variety of everyday commodities. The work is divided into ten sections, most centered on a particular fabrication technique. All the process-directed sections provide thorough presentations of fundamental principles, equipment, processing technology, and current research developments. Associated materials and applications are also described. Among the processes and materials examined are compression molding, injection molding, long thermoplastic composite technology, reaction injection molding, resin transfer molding and continuous fiber processing. Sheet molding compounds are reviewed in detail as a separate topic, parallelling compression molding. A final chapter on quality control techniques and non-destructive testing offers useful information, particularly relevant for producing automotive components. This timely, state-of-the-art volume is written by active participants in the field. Anyone working with composites or interested in their rapid evolution, will find this to be an invaluable source of information.
