Science and Engineering of Short Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites

Science and Engineering of Short Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites, Second Edition, provides the latest information on the 'short fiber reinforced composites' (SFRP) that have found extensive applications in automobiles, business machines, durable consumer items, sporting goods and electrical industries due to their low cost, easy processing and superior mechanical properties over parent polymers. This updated edition presents new developments in this field of research and includes new chapters on electrical conductivity, structural monitoring, functional properties, self-healing, finite element method techniques, multi-scale SFRCs, and both modern computational and process engineering methods.
