內容簡介： 隨著複合材料在工程結構中的廣泛應用，複合材料的老化問題倍受關注。《複合材料老化》一書聚焦複合材料在長期服役環境中的性能變化和老化機理。 書中第一部分綜述了複合材料的老化過程與模型，包括樹脂基複合材料的物理老化和化學老化、玻璃/陶瓷基複合材料的老化、化學老化機理、應力腐蝕開裂、熱氧老化、複合材料老化光譜、物理老化和加速老化模型及碳化矽複合材料的老化。第二部分介紹了運輸領域複合材料的老化，包括飛機、車輛和船舶。第三部分概述了非運輸領域複合材料的老化，例如醫療器械中的植入物、油氣管道、市政管道、化工管道和地下水管道等。
傑出的編輯和國際化作者團隊，使《複合材料老化》一書成為複合材料製造企業與研發人員頗有價值的參考指南。它還可作為材料科學家、設計師和工程師在運輸、化工和醫療工領域使用複合材料的信息來源。
