Klappentext

By combining the properties and strengths of various materials it is possible to produce a hybrid or composite material with properties ideally suited to a specific application, and this is particularly important for developing new materials for rapidly growing high-technology industries.

Zusammenfassung
A state-of-the-art review of ceramic-matrix composite systems, this book examines the different types of reinforcement used, methods of production and design requirements. It also discusses specific benefits, uses and potential applications.
