This books sets out an approach to the design and development of composite products that will lead to the maximum likelihood of developing commercially successful products, generally in the face of a great deal of uncertainty in most areas of the development process. The book is practically orientated, covering those areas of composite technology most critical to product developments, rather than those of the most theoretical importance, therefore providing a basis for mutual understanding among the broad field of composite specialists. The author's experience provides a hands-on approach to...

Resin Transfer Moulding provides readers with the information needed to design, develop and manufacture high components via an RTM route and provides a framework which readers can use to place their endeavours within an industrial context. Readers are presented with information to give them an understanding of the scientific and theoretical background to RTM, thereby giving them an understanding of the major constraints on the process. This background is then built on by an in-depth consideration of the technological details that are required to utilise the process effectively. To...
