Introduction

This book highlights the advancements in the manufacture and testing of functional composites, metal matrix composites and polymer matrix composites. Chapters provide information about machinability studies of metals and composites using a variety of analytical techniques. The 12 book chapters also highlight updates in manufacturing technologies like CNC turning processes, electrical discharge machining, end milling, abrasive jet machining, electro chemical machining, additive manufacturing, and resistance spot welding. Readers will learn how to solve applied problems in industrial processing and applications.

The book is of significant interest to industrialists working on the basic and experimental parameters for fabricating functional composites and manufacturing technology. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the presented topics, the information presented in the book is of value to a broad audience involved in research, including materials scientists, chemists, physicists, manufacturing and chemical engineers and processing specialists who are involved and interested in the frontiers of composite materials.

Preface

The main attentions in this collection of scientific book chapters is focused on recent theoretical and practical advancements in functional composite materials related to mechanical and wear properties, microstructural characterization, and advanced manufacturing techniques used in aerospace, automobile, marine and defense industries.

This book highlights the advancements in the functional composites, metal matrix composites, polymer matrix composites, machinability studies of metals and composites using CNC turning process, electrical discharge machining, end milling, abrasive jet machining, electro chemical machining, additive manufacturing of products, joining of metals using resistance spot welding and carbon aerogels doped with resorcinol formaldehyde. We anticipate that this book will be of significant interest to the industrialists working on the basic issues surrounding the functional composites and manufacturing technology, as well as those who work in the industry in applied problems such as processing and applications. Because of multidisciplinary nature of the research, this book will attract a broad audience, including materials scientists, chemists, physicists, manufacturing and chemical engineers and processing specialists who are involved and interested in the future frontiers of blends.

The editors are grateful to their management, institution, family members and effort of the authors who have contributed the book chapters. Additionally, without the tireless effort of the publication staff of Bentham Science Publishers, this book would have not been possible.
