By combining the properties and strengths of various materials it is possible to produce a hybrid or composite material with properties ideally suited to a specific application, and this is particularly important for developing new materials for rapidly growing high-technology industries. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of ceramic-matrix composite systems, and examines the different types of reinforcement used, methods of production, and design requirements. It also discusses specific benefits, uses and potential applications. The book is written for materials scientists and engineers who require a thorough understanding of the design requirements and applications of new materials for high technology industries. Postgraduate students in materials science, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering will find the book a useful source of reference.
