Fibers and Composites (Hardcover)

This book considers advanced composite materials based on carbon fibers and several kinds of matrices and is divided into three main parts. The first presents an alternative way to process and prepare carbon fibers issued from either natural or artificial precursors. Recent achievements in carbon fiber technologies are introduced, including their main physical characteristics as high modulus or high strength type.
In the second part both classical and novel ways to prepare carbon matrices are presented. The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique as well as chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) inside a porous preform are analysed.
In addition, the liquid impregnation of a preform by a pitch or some other precursor is described. The associated C-C composites exhibit high thermal and mechanical properties, useful, for example, in aeroplane brakes and space rockets. Finally, other carbon based composites, with polymers or cement as matrices are explained including the role of interfacial characteristics as wetting or adhesions for their final application. This book will be of interest to engineers, graduate students and researchers in the field of solid state physics, chemistry and materials science.
