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 occuring 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.

Access: Comprehensive Composite Materials

The Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology presents around 1,800 articles written by experts in their fields, resulting in a comprehensive coverage of this broad and wide-ranging subject. The study of materials is interdisciplinary in nature and requires knowledge of research in many related fields, such as physics, chemistry, engineering and even biomedical science. This comprehensive reference work covers areas such as: Functional Phenomena, Structural Phenomena, Fundamental Core Theory, Structural Materials, Polymers and Materials Chemistry, and Functional Materials,

Access: The Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology

The Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology presents over 500 articles addressing all areas of polymer science. Updated quarterly with new and substantially revised articles, the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology is an invaluable resource for researchers providing information about polymers, plastics, fibers, biomaterials, elastomers, and polymerization processes.
