Fibrous Polymeric Composites : Environmental Degradation and Damage

"In the realm of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials, the role of fibre/polymer interface/interphasein the overall properties of composite is widely acknowledged. The book will provide critical information regarding the in-service environmental damage and degradation studies of FRP composites. The readers will be able to identify the possible superior advantages and limitations of FRP composites in various simple and super critical applications. Further emphasis will be given on the identification of various failure micro-mechanisms leading to unprecedented failure in different harsh and hostile environment. The book will include the relevant case studies."--Provided by publisher.
