    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    Polymer Composites for the Automotive Industry covers a classification of polymer-based composites and nanocomposites that is accompanied by elucidations on material properties and characterization alongside modeling and testing methods for specific fabrication of a multitude of car parts in need of modernizing modifications (including chassis, exterior components, internal accessories, seats, brakes, floors, springs, wheels, battery boxes, etc.). Some application examples for other road transport, aerospace, aviation, and marine vehicles are also summarized for a more complete digest of polymer composites’ relevance across the industry.

    This in-depth review further proves to be a highly valuable resource as it closes the gap between research and practical implementation by offering guidance to transform prototype designs into tangible, testable products at industrial scale at a time when sustainability is seen as a critical priority and cost-effectiveness is essential for competitive advantage. This book equips readers with sought-after, systematic information on these materials, whose application will keep transforming the vehicle engineering sector in a pivotal way.
