Features: High-performance fibers are becoming increasingly widely used. They can be applied to flexible high-tech textiles, high-strength ropes, and rigid composite material reinforcements, with applications spanning industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and military. This book is compiled by internationally renowned experts and provides an in-depth discussion on various aspects of high-performance fibers, including their manufacturing, properties, applications, and market conditions. It details high modulus high-strength fibers, carbon fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, heat-resistant, and chemical-resistant fibers, among others. Additionally, it evaluates the economic feasibility of producing low-volume, high-cost fabrics made from these high-performance fibers. This book serves as a reference for engineers, technicians, and professionals in the fields of engineering, materials, and related fibers, as well as high-tech textile production.
