Women in Aerospace Materials

This book provides insight into research and development of key aerospace materials that have enabled some of the most exciting air and space technologies in recent years. The stories are shared with you by the women who experienced them, those engineers and scientists in the labs, on the shop floors, or on the design teams contributing to the realization of these technologies. Their work contributes to the world in the challenging and vital field of aerospace materials, and their stories seethe with a pride and a passion for the opportunity to make these important contributions. As an important part of the Women in Science and Engineering book series, the work highlights the contribution of women leaders in Aerospace Materials, inspiring women and men, girls and boys to enter and apply themselves to secure our future in an increasingly connected world.

Provides insight into women's contributions to the field of aerospace materials Presents information from government research, academia, and industry regarding advances and applications in the field of aerospace materials Includes topics such as optical and electronic nanoscale materials, composite materials for aerospace structures, and additive manufacturing materials for air and space applications
