The Definitive Reference on Composites and Related Processing Technologies

Comprised of 258 articles written by international experts working in both industry and academia, the Wiley Encyclopedia of Composites, Second Edition is the definitive reference resource on composite materials and processing technologies. Fully revised and updated to reflect the most recent developments in research and applications, the text provides readers with complete coverage of the properties, processing, formulation, design, analysis, evaluation, manufacture, testing, and reliability of all types of composite materials.

A compendium of composites of all types, this encyclopedia examines topics ranging from naturally occurring composites to their uses in recent materials developments, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, covering every aspect of composites across five detailed volumes. An essential reference for chemical, process, mechanical, civil, and electrical engineers, as well as polymer, coatings, and materials scientists (particularly those involved in ceramics and plastics) and metallurgists, the book is ideal for anyone working with or interested in composites and their potential.

With in-depth entries on the roles and full range of applications of composites in the nanotechnology, aerospace, automotive, biomedical engineering, sustainability, electronics, optics, defense, energy, and transportation industries, and much more, the Wiley Encyclopedia of Composites, Second Edition is a truly comprehensive resource on these remarkable materials.
