✦ Synopsis

Hybrid composites have exceptional features due to superior mechanical properties, fatigue/impact resistance, and balanced thermal distortion stability. This book covers the latest developments in the hybrid composite materials, processing, characterization, and modeling of materials behaviour. While covering the same, the book also provides insight on its applications in medical science.
Highlights the differences between hybrid and nonhybrid composites.
Discusses hybrid composite stiffness, strength, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.
Covers the latest developments in the hybrid composite materials.
