Features: The "Handbook of Polymer-Based Composite Materials" primarily includes three main parts: the performance characterization and testing techniques of polymer-based composites, performance data, and material usage and design analysis. The handbook provides detailed information on the performance characterization and related testing techniques for fibers, resins, prepregs, and various laminates. It collects and compiles performance data for more than 140 domestic and international composite material systems, covering various composites used in aerospace, shipbuilding, military, and civilian fields. In terms of design applications, it not only presents fundamental key points such as material selection, layup design, stability, joining, damage resistance, and damage tolerance but also includes more recent content such as modular verification methods, reliability design, usage support, and environmental management. The handbook demonstrates advanced technology and engineering applicability, reflecting the latest domestic and international research achievements and progress in this field. It serves as a reference for material research units, engineering production and manufacturing units, and structural design application units in the composite materials field, guiding specific work such as material research, performance testing, material screening and substitution, structural material selection, design analysis, and certification/qualification. Additionally, it can also be used as a reference for faculty and students of relevant disciplines in higher education institutions.
