This important handbook looks at how high-performance fibers
are designed and manufactured and covers their capabilities and
applications. The high-modulus, high-tenacity (HM-HT) fibers
fall naturally into three groups – polymer fibers, such as
aramids and polyethylene fibres; carbon fibers, such as Kevlar;
and inorganic fibers based on glass and ceramic fibres. The
book shows how high performance fibers are being increasingly
used for a wide range of applications including geotextiles and
geomembranes and for construction and civil engineering
projects, as well as in specialist fibers within composite
materials.
