Synopsis

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have proven to be useful for a wide range of applications because of properties such as their light weight, toughness and temperature resistance. This book summarises key recent research on types and processing of CMCs. The first part of the book reviews types such as self-healing and hybrid CMCs as well as developments in processing. Other parts of the book deal with properties and applications as diverse as the energy and medical sectors.

Key Features: reviews types and processing of CMCs, covering processing, properties and applications.
