Optical microscopy of fiber reinforced composites

Optical microscopy of fiber reinforced composites / Biran S. Hayes and Luther M. Gammon.

Optical microscopy is one of the most valuable--but under utilized--tools for analyzing fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. This hands-on instructional book covers everything: sample preparation, microscopic techniques, and applications. The power of optical microscopy to study the microstru...
