✦ Synopsis

Designed to review our understanding of the field of thermoplastic composites through a detailed study of the paradign CF/PEEK. It leads the newcomer into the field, followed by more detailed discussions of the subject. A major chapter discusses how the materials can be made into structures. This is followed by a series of reviews of the service properties and a discussion of applications. A final chapter considers the directions of research in this field and attempts to predict their influence
