Chapter 1. Advanced Polymer Matrix Composites
Abstract
In this chapter, high-performance continuous fiber-reinforcing thermosetting resin matrix composites for aerospace structural applications are introduced. Highlights about processing and manufacturing technologies of advanced resin matrix composites and composite material performances will be presented.

Chapter 2. Industrial Polymer Matrix Composites and Fiber-Glass-Reinforced Plastics
Abstract
Today, the most commonly used composites, with the largest market share, are resin matrix composites. Glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) have excellent performance/price ratios and weathering properties and can be easily molded into complex shapes. They also perform better in many applications and have lower densities, than metals.

Chapter 3. Metal Matrix Composites
Abstract
Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are a class of artificial materials compounded by the introduction of certain content reinforcements, such as fibers, whiskers, or particles, into the metal or alloy matrix materials. MMCs exhibit not only high specific modulus, high specific strength, good thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity, controllable thermal expansion coefficient, and excellent high-temperature performance, but also designability and machinability. Therefore, they are an important class of advanced materials.

Chapter 4. Cement-Based Composite Materials
Abstract
Cement-based composite materials consist of hardened cement paste as a base, which is formed by hydration between cement and water, and a mixture of various inorganic, metallic, and polymeric materials.

Chapter 5. Carbon Composites
Abstract
Carbon/carbon (C/C) composites with a carbon matrix reinforced by carbon fibers were an accidental discovery. In 1958, researchers from the Chance Vought Aircraft, Inc., made an operational mistake when measuring the fiber content in carbon/phenolic composites.
