Self Healing Composite Materials

This book sheds light on recent advances in sustainable construction and building materials with special emphasis on the characterization of natural and composite hydraulic mortars, advanced concrete technology, green building materials, and application of nanotechnology to the improvement of the design of building materials.

This book deepens the study and knowledge on fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), which are composite materials made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. This book presents comprehensive information on FRPs and their wide variety of applications in the industry worldwide.

In materials, their strength is the ability to bear an applied load before their failure. In this direction, the book studies the stresses and deformations that happen in materials as an outcome of loads acting on them.

This book examines exciting advancements in the field of ceramics, including nanotechnology, clean energy, and tribology as well as fundamental concepts like defects and structure. It is a comprehensive discussion on how today’s ceramics are processed and used in many of today’s critical technologies.
