Interfaces in Particle and Fibre Reinforced Composites [EPUB ebook] 
Current Perspectives on Polymer, Ceramic, Metal and Extracellular Matrices

Interfaces in Particle and Fibre-Reinforced Composites: From Macro- to Nanoscale addresses recent research findings on the particle-matrix interface at different length scales. The book’s main focus is on the reinforcement of materials by particles that can result in a composite material of high stiffness and strength, but it also focuses on how the particle interacts with the (matrix) material, which may be a polymer, biological-based material, ceramic or conventional metal. The different types of particle reinforced composites are discussed, as is load transfer at the particle-matrix interface. Readers will learn how to select materials and about particle structure. Significant progress has been made in applying these approaches, thus making this book a timely piece on recent research findings on the particle-matrix interface at different length scales. – Features wide coverage, from polymer, to ceramics and metal-based particulate composites- Structured in a logical order to cover fundamental studies, computer simulations, experimental techniques and characterization
