Composites Engineering: An A–Z Guide

Composites Engineering: An A-Z Guide provides a quick and accessible reference to composites terminologies. Comprehensive without being overly detailed, it fills a gap for an accessible reference text of composites engineering terms and concepts. It is ideal for composites scientists and engineers at universities and in industry, as well as undergraduates.
