Fiberglass-reinforced and composite plastic (FRP/C) product industries generate wastes (including air emissions) during the fabrication process and from the use of solvents for clean up of tools, molds and spraying equipment. This step-by-step manual provides an overview of the FRP/C process and operations that generate waste and presents options for minimizing waste generation through source reduction and recycling. Includes pre-designed assessment forms along with a detailed waste audit from a composite plastics manufacturing plant. Case studies.

Composite materials are engineered materials, made from two or more constituents with significantly different physical or chemical properties which remain separate on a macroscopic level within the finished structure. Due to their special mechanical and physical properties they have the potential to replace conventional materials.

Optical microscopy is one of the most valuable--but under utilized--tools for analyzing fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. This hands-on instructional book covers everything: sample preparation, microscopic techniques, and applications. The power of optical microscopy to study the microstructure of these heterogeneous, anisotropic materials is illustrated with over 180 full color images.
