Characterization of Composite Materials covers modern surface analytical techniques applied specifically to composite materials. Centering on spectroscopic characterization of composites and polymer-matrix composites, this book covers techniques established as useful for composite studies along with promising new techniques such as STM/AFM and special Raman spectroscopy. Each chapter will cover a specific technique and will provide basic background information, theories of the technique, and application examples, including futuristic state-of-the-art applications.
