Carbon Reinforcements and Carbon/Carbon Composites

Carbon has been used as the most successful reinforcement for materials like glass, ceramics, metals and polymers. Carbon/Carbon composites are used when one needs materials for extreme temperature conditions.
The authors give a comprehensive overview of the present status of this subject as well as projections for new "high tech" materials.

First comprehensive overview on the subject A must for all material scientists particularly those involved in processing
