The usage of composites is a broad and growing area of scientific research, especially in developed and developing countries. These materials are used in a broad range of applications in both structural and civil engineering sectors. In many of these applications FRPs are exposed to one or more environmental influences, so they need to be designed to meet durability requirements to withstand even the harshest of environments. Aging and Durability of FRP Composites and Nanocomposites focuses on the latest developments in durability and long-term ageing studies of composite materials especially for those used in civil and structural engineering applications. The book will be a valuable reference resource for materials scientists and engineers who want to learn more about the long-term service life and durability behaviour of composites under different environmental conditions. – Discusses composites and polymer nanocomposites- Reviews different types of aging processes and degradation mechanisms in composites- Covers different types of accelerated aging tests- Presents theory, modeling, and simulation studies of aged composites and nanocomposites- Looks at recent trends and future possibilities
