Padmanabhan K. Self-Reinforced Polymer Composites...2022

Textbook in PDF format

This book is a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of self-reinforced polymer composites (SRCs) science and technology. After introducing the fundamental characteristics of SRCs, ample space is given to manufacturing, processing, characterization and application techniques. The approach is didactic and focused on formulations, illustrations and applications, which makes the book ideal for students, teachers and practitioners alike.
The book contains details on many industrial applications such as transportation,　biomedical , ceramic SRCs, marine and Carbon-Carbon SRCs.
Includes brief material selection guidelines.
Life Cycle, environmental and economic issues are addressed.
