Riassunto

Materials science and engineering (MS&E) is by its very nature an inter­ disciplinary activity. Researchers from a wide variety of disciplines, metal­ lurgy, ceramics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electrical and electronic engineering, etc. can and do participate in the MS&E activities. The need and desirability of such an interdisciplinary effort is understandable inas­ much as advanced or high-performance materials are critical for any of the modern industries. It is almost a given axiom that progress in any field (energy, building materials, transportation, electronics, aerospace, electric power, consumer products, etc.) depends on the availability of suitable In this regard, let me quote from materials having specific characteristics. another work of mine: It is a truism that technological development depends on advances in the field of materials. One does not have to be an expert to realize that a most advanced turbine or aircraft design is of no use if adequate materials to bear the service loads and conditions are not available. Whatever the field may be, the final limitation on advancement depends on materials [1]. It is pertinent to quote from some other sources about a fundamental change that is occurring in the materials field: A fundamental reversal in the relationship between human beings and materials [has occurred]. Its economic consequences are likely to be profound. Historically humans have adapted such natural materials as stone, wood, clay, vegetable fiber and animal tissue to economic uses.

Recensione

`...a significant contribution to the understanding and progress of the science and engineering of composite materials...I would recommend this textbook.'
Materials Research Society Bulletin
`This excellent discussion on CMCs has been directed to the undergraduate...lucid coverage.'
SAMPE Journal
`The book will find great use to not only students in materials science, but also to materials researchers and practicing engineers.'
High Tech Ceramics News (January 1995)
`a very well-produced book...excellent for anyone working in the field of reinforced ceramics but could equally profitably be read by the student of polymer composites.'
Materials and Design
