The Report Composites Forming Technologies Reviews the Wealth of Research in Forming High-Quality Composite Materials.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c53435) has announced the addition of Composites Forming Technologies to their offering This report - reviews the wealth of research in forming high-quality composite materials - includes a concise explanation of the forming mechanisms and characterisation for composites - considers forming technologies for various composite material forms - an essential reference for engineers, researchers and academics involved with composite materials Composites are versatile engineered materials composed of two or more constituent materials which, when combined, lead to improved properties over the individual components whilst remaining separate on a macroscopic level. Due to their versatility, composite materials are used in a variety of areas ranging from healthcare and civil engineering to spacecraft technology. Composites forming technologies reviews the wealth of research in forming high-quality composite materials. The book begins with a concise explanation of the forming mechanisms and characterisation for composites, as well as covering modelling and analysis of forming techniques. Further chapters discuss the testing and simulation of composite materials forming. The book also considers forming technologies for various composite material forms including thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. and thermoplastic prepreg, moulding compounds and composite/metal laminates. With its distinguished editor and array of international contributors, Composites forming technologies is an essential reference for engineers, researchers and academics involved with the production and use of composite materials. About the editor Professor Andrew Long is Head of the innovative Polymer Composites Research Group and is the Course Director for Mechanical Engineering at the internationally-acclaimed University of Nottingham The University of Nottingham is a leading research and teaching university in the city of Nottingham, in the East Midlands of England. It is a member of the Russell Group, and of Universitas 21, an international network of research-led universities. , UK.
