Review of Recent Research into Cellulosic Whiskers, Their Properties and Their Application in Nanocomposite Field

Current and future potential applications for three-dimensional (3D) fibre reinforced polymer composites made by the textile processes of weaving, braiding, stitching and knitting are reviewed. 3D textile composites have a vast range of properties that are superior to traditional 2D laminates, however to date these properties have not been exploited for many applications. The scientific, technical and economic issues impeding the more widespread use of 3D textile composites are identified. Structures that have been made to demonstrate the possible uses of 3D composites are described, and these include applications in aircraft, marine craft, automobiles, civil infrastructure and medical prosthesis.

Review of applications for advanced three-dimensional fibre textile composites

Ultrasonic machining is of particular interest for the cutting of non-conductive, brittle workpiece materials such as engineering ceramics. Unlike other non-traditional processes such as laser beam, and electrical discharge machining, etc., ultrasonic machining does not thermally damage the workpiece or appear to introduce significant levels of residual stress, which is important for the survival of brittle materials in service. The fundamental principles of ultrasonic machining, the material removal mechanisms involved and the effect of operating parameters on material removal rate, tool wear rate and workpiece accuracy are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the machining of engineering ceramics. The problems of producing complex 3-D shapes in ceramics are outlined.

Review on ultrasonic machining

This paper reviews over fifty studies into the effect of through-the-thickness stitching on the in-plane mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Reviewed are the in-plane tensile, compressive, flexure, interlaminar shear, creep, fracture and fatigue properties, although little work has been undertaken on the last three properties. When comparing studies it is apparent that many contradictions exist: some studies reveal that stitching does not affect or may improve slightly the in-plane properties while others find that the properties are degraded. In reviewing these studies it is demonstrated that predicting the influence of stitching on the in-plane properties is difficult because it is governed by a variety of factors, including the type of composite (eg. type of fibre, resin, lay-up configuration), the stitching conditions (eg. type of thread, stitch pattern, stitch density, stitch tension, thread diameter), and the loading condition. The implications of these findings for the use of stitching in lightweight engineering structures are discussed.

A review of the effect of stitching on the in-plane mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced polymer composites

A variety of new advanced composite materials are now available that provide great advantages over conventional materials for electronic packaging thermal control, including extremely high thermal conductivities (more than twice that of copper); low tailorable coefficients of thermal expansion; weight savings up to 80 percent; extremely high strength and stiffness; low-cost, net-shape fabrication processes; and cost reductions as high as 65 percent. In addition, composites are in a state of continual development that will provide even greater benefits. This article provides an overview of advanced composites used in thermal management, including properties, applications, and future trends. The focus is on materials having thermal conductivities at least as high as those of aluminum alloys. Future trends and the potential for composites in other aspects of the electronics industry, such as high-speed assembly machine materials of construction, are also examined.

Hardbound. Advanced ceramics cover a wide range of materials which are ceramic by nature but have been developed in response to specific requirements. This encyclopedia collects together 137 articles in order to provide an up-to-date account of the advanced ceramic field. Some articles are drawn from the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering, often revised, and others have been newly commissioned. The Concise Encyclopedia of Advanced Ceramic Materials aims to provide a comprehensive selection of accessible articles which act as an authoritative guide to the subject. The format is designed to help the readers form opinions on a particular subject. Arranged alphabetically, with a broad subject range, the articles are diverse in character and style, thereby stimulating further discussion. Topics covered include survey articles on glass, hot pressing, insulators, powders, and many are concerned with specific chemical sy
