Materials Science and Technolog A Comprehensive Treatment Edited by R.W. Cahn, P. Haasen, E.J. Kramer The 18 volume series "Materials Science and Technology" is the first in-depth, topic-oriented reference work devoted to this growing interdisciplinary field. A compendium of current, state-of-the-art information, it covers the most important classes of materials: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, semiconductors, and composites, from the fundamentals of perfect semiconductors via the physics of defects to "artificial" and amorphous semiconductors. Edited by internationally renowned figures in materials science, this series is sure to establish itself as a seminal work. Volume 13: This self-contained handbook provides an authoritative source of information on the physical background of structure/property relationships in composite materials. This volume is intended as a reference work for physical scientists and engineers and as a source for the teachers of composite science. Topics include: Fibers and Whiskers ? Polymer/Metal/Ceramic Matrix Materials ? Interfaces ? Short Fiber Composites ? Morphology Control in Polymer Composites ? Elastic Properties ? Inelastic Properties ? Strength of Fiber Composites ? Fracture in Composites ? Fatigue in Composites
