Hierarchical Composite Materials provides an in-depth analysis of a class of advanced
composites that have properties that are anisotropic due to structural organization at
different length scales. Chapters address how ordering occurs from the atomic-scale up to the
microstructure and how control of these factors leads to the final materials' properties.
Manufacturing procedures properties and applications of different functionally graded
materials are discussed in detail. This book is ideal for materials scientists mechanical
engineers chemists and physicists.
