Preface
Carbon posites, particularly those with polymeric matrices, have
e the dominant posite materials for aerospace, auto-
mobile, sporting goods, and other applications due to their high strength, high
modulus, low density, and reasonable cost. For applications requiring high
temperature resistance, as required by spacecraft, carbon fiber carbon-matrix
composites (or carbon+posites) have e dominant. As the
price of carbon fibers decreases, their applications have even broadened to the
construction industry, which uses carbon fibers to reinforce concrete. An
objective of this book is to provide up-to-date information on the who
