Microstructural Characterisation of Fibre-Reinforced Composites

In the past 50 years, great progress has been made in developing artificial fiber-reinforced composite materials, generally using filaments with microscopic diameters. An array of reinforcement forms can be used in commercial applications - with the microstructure being a critical factor in realizing the required properties in a material.
This book comprehensively examines the application of advanced microstructural characterization techniques to fiber-reinforced composites.
