 A summary of recent research on short fiber reinforced polymers, this book focuses on the fundamental mechanisms that govern the mechanical properties including strength, modulus, fracture toughness and thermal properties of SFRP materials. It covers extrusion compounding and injection molding, major factors affecting mechanical performance, stress transfer, strength, elastic modulus flexural modulus, thermal conductivity and expansion, non-linear stress-strain behavior and fracture mechanics of short fiber reinforced polymers. Written by a team of distinguished authors, it provides an in-depth understanding of the behavior of these versatile materials.
