The potential application areas for polymer composites are vast. While techniques and methodologies for composites design are relatively well established, the knowledge and understanding of post-design issues lag far behind. This leads to designs and eventually composites with disappointing properties and unnecessarily high cost, thus impeding a wider industrial acceptance of polymer composites. Manufacturing of Polymer Composites completely covers pre- and post-design issues. While the book enables students to become fully comfortable with composites as a possible materials choice, it also provides sufficient knowledge about manufacturing-related issues to permit them to avoid common pitfalls and unmanufacturable designs. The book is a fully comprehensive text covering all commercially significant materials and manufacturing techniques while at the same time discussing areas of research and development that are nearing commercial reality.

In recent years, the application of composite materials hasincreased in various areas of science and technology due to theirspecial properties, namely for use in the aircraft, automotive,defence, aerospace and other advanced industries. Machiningcomposite materials is quite a complex task owing to itsheterogenity, and to the fact that reinforcements are extremelyabrasive. In modern engineering, high demands are placed oncomponents made of composites in relation to their dimensionalprecision as well as their surface quality. Due to these potentialapplications, there is a great need to understand the questionsassociated with machining composite materials. This book aims to provide the fundamentals and the recentadvances in the machining of composite materials (polymers, metalsand ceramics) for modern manufacturing engineering. The three partsof the book cover the machining of polymeric, metal and ceramicmatrix composites. This book can be used as a text book for the final year of anundergraduate engineering course or for those studyingmachining/composites at the postgraduate level. It can also serveas a useful work of reference for academics, manufacturing andmaterials researchers, manufacturing and mechanical engineers, andprofessionals in composite technology and related industries.
