Polymer Matrix Composites

This book is part of a series dedicated to advanced composite materials, research, development and usage in the former Soviet Union. It provides the basic principles used to develop high-strength, high-modulus composites. Starting with types of matrix materials, the text progresses on to the development and production of fibrous composites, their structure-property relationships, hybrid composite materials, and the development of these materials in aerospace applications. It should be of interest to anyone researching or developing composite materials science and technology, both in industry and universities.
