| which has been out of print for a few years. Answering many demands, we finally decided to launch a new edition! |
| This revised and expanded third edition is prepared and published as a completely new version: each chapter of this book has been written by specialists in their respective fields. These contributors are internationally acknowledged, and come from all around the world (Belgium, China, France, India, Korea, Russia, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the U.S.A.). They offer the reader authoritative information on today's carbon fiber science and technology. In addition, encouraged by a positive reader response to previous editions, the general organization of this edition has followed suit, with additions and changes reflecting the rapid development of carbon fiber science and technology in the past eight years. For example, many scientific techniques which have been implemented throughout the world and used as tools to characterize carbon fiber properties will be introduced and explored in this volume. |
| Carbon Fibers, Third Edition, like the previous editions, provides a comprehensive up-to-date review of carbon fiber science and technology. The materials offered by specialists in this new book are profoundly strengthened as compared to those in the previous editions and it shall certainly be beneficial to the carbon community. We hope, this book will provide complete information on the manufacturing, structural, surface, mechanical, electronic, thermal, and magnetic properties of carbon fibers and their applications in the industry. Over 1360 papers and patents are quoted and analyzed in this |
