Comprehensive Composite Materials provides a unique reference source for scientists and technologists in the field of composites research. The six volumes covers key aspects of naturally occurring and synthetic composite materials, including history, reinforcements, matrix materials, mechanical properties, physical properties, theory, structural design, structural analysis, manufacturing processes, quality assurance, test methods, applications, recycling and disposal. Classes of materials covered include polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, carbon/carbon composites, and cement and concrete composites. Comprehensive Composite Materials also covers smart materials as they relate to composites, including process monitoring, embedded sensors and actuators, and damage detection.

Comprehensive Composite Materials is now available online via ScienceDirect.
