Description: This is the first directory to gather together information on reinforced plastics and composites - some of the most versatile and unusual materials known - so comprehensively and in such detail.

In this book, designers and users of reinforced plastics in general will find a systematic set of design parameters describing the physical properties of composites based primarily on glass, aramid and carbon fibres in common thermosetting resins. Furthermore, the book encompasses the entire span of fibre/resin combinations; enables users to make informed material combination selections; and groups data together by property, with commentary on their application.

Because proper fabrication is essential for a successful reinforced plastic component, this, and the associated topic of quality assurance, are also considered in depth. Design Data for Reinforced Plastics draws on a world-wide range of sources, bringing together data from publications, manufacturers and materials databases in an easily-used format.
