Thermoplastic Composites: Principles and Applications

by Haibin Ning

Overview

The book covers various thermoplastic composites, including continuous and discontinuous fiber thermoplastic composites. It describes processing methods and explains the effect of different processing parameters on the structure and performance of thermoplastic composites. Characterization and mechanics of the composite are also discussed in the book.

Editorial Reviews

As thermoplastic composite materials increasingly replace metal in many applications, says Ning, there remains a dearth of basic information about them. He summarizes the principles and applications to raise the interest of students and engineers and get them started in the field. His topics are constituents of thermoplastic composites, continuous and discontinuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites, the processing of thermoplastic composites, additive manufacturing of thermoplastic composites, characterization, micro-mechanics and macro-mechanics, and recycling.
