Summary
Summary
In Carbon Fiber Composites , the reader is introduced to a wide range of carbon fiber composites, including polymer-matrix, metal matrix, carbon-matrix, ceramic-matrix and hybrid composites. The subject is examined in a tutorial fashion, so that no prior knowledge of the field is required. In contrast to other books on composites, this book emphasizes materials rather than mechanics, as the prominence of composite materials has resulted from their increased presence in applications other than structure.

Choice Review
Chung's book is unconventional in the sense that she considers composites with different kinds of matrix materials (polymers, carbon, metal, ceramics, etc.) embedded with only one kind of fiber (carbon). Moreover, she treats the subject matter primarily from materials and processes points of view. Chung is well versed in the subject matter, especially in the area of carbon-ceramic composites. The book's first part considers structure, processing, and physicochemical properties of carbon fibers. The second discusses manufacturing processes and physicochemical properties of carbon-fiber composites with simple and hybrid matrix materials. The illustrations are good, the subject index is reasonable, and the references at the end of each of the 10 chapters are sufficient. For senior undergraduates through faculty in materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. P. K. Basu; Vanderbilt University
