A multi-authored, edited work. This volume forms a comprehensive treatise on the development, manufacture, testing and applications of a broad range of ceramic, glass ceramic and carbon matrix composite materials developed in the former Soviet Union. For each of these three classes of composite materials, background theory and extensive property data are also given.
