Now, in one book, there is coverage of modern surface analytical techniques applied specifically to composite materials. Centering around spectroscopic characterization of composites and polymer-matrix composities, Characterization of CompositeMaterials covers techniques with a demonstrated use for composite stuides along with promising new techniques such as STM/AFM and special Raman spectroscopy. Each chapter will cover a specific technique and will provide basic background information, theories of the technique, and application examples, including futuristic state-of-the-art applications. Detailed information about the individual characterization techniques mentioned can be found in the Encyclopaedia of Materials Cahracterization, the companion volume in the Materials Characterization Series: surfaces, interfaces, thin films.
