Polymer matrix composites : processing and applications / by P.K Mallick. - 1 online resource (xiv, 330 pages)
Fiber architecture -- Matrix materials -- Processing fundamentals -- Bag molding process -- Compression molding -- Liquid composite molding -- Filament winding -- Pultrision -- Forming of thermoplastic matrix composites -- Joining and repair.
"Polymer matrix composites are finding increasing number of applications due to their high weight-saving potential as well as unique characteristics, such as high strength-to-density ratio, fatigue resistance, high damping factor, and freedom from corrosion. While many textbooks are available on the mechanics of polymer matrix composites, few cover their processing. Polymer Matrix Composites: Processing and Applications fills this gap. The book focuses on the major manufacturing processes used for polymer matrix composites and describes process details, process parameters and their effects on properties and process-induced defects, and analytical and experimental methods used for understanding process conditions. The book describes fibers, thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers, and interface characteristics that are important from the standpoint of both design and processing. It also emphasizes the applications of process fundamentals for both continuous fiber and short fiber polymer matrix composites. In addition the book considers quality inspection methods, tooling, and manufacturing costs and environmental and safety issues."--Provided by publisher.
