    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:

    Given such properties as low density and high strength, polymer matrix composites have become a widely used material in the aerospace and other industries. Polymer matrix composites and technology provides a helpful overview of these materials, their processing and performance.

    After an introductory chapter, part one reviews the main reinforcement and matrix materials used as well as the nature of the interface between them. Part two discusses forming and molding technologies for polymer matrix composites. The final part of the book covers key aspects of performance, including tensile, compression, shear and bending properties as well as impact, fatigue and creep behaviour.

    Polymer matrix composites and technology provides both students and those in industry with a valuable introduction to and overview of this important class of materials.


    • Provides a helpful overview of these materials, their processing and performance incorporating naming and classification of composite materials
    • Reviews the main reinforcement and matrix materials used as well as the nature of the interface between them including damage mechanisms
    • Discusses forming and molding technologies for polymer matrix composites outlining various techniques and technologies
