JEC Group - The challenging world of composites

This publication provides insights into the key challenges facing the composites industry today to develop new technologies, modernize, expand, innovate, create new applications and grow profitably, while also addressing the need for using more environmentally friendly, sustainable and recyclable materials.
With its origins in the 1940s, the early glass reinforced plastic materials have now become part of a much bigger and sophisticated global composites industry, which over the last 75 years has seen the development of new raw materials, production processes and design engineering capabilities which have enabled the use of composites materials in applications never thought possible.
From wind turbine blades, racing yachts, Airbus A350 and Boeing B787 fuselages, Formula 1 racing car chassis, and the lotus-flower-shaped roof of the ArtScience Museum in Singapore Bay, high performance applications using composites are now globally found in every advanced industry sector thanks to their unique combination of properties and performance in use benefits.
Since it started in 1997, the JEC Group has supported the composites industry and continues to play an essential role as a catalyst, fostering the sharing of knowledge and know-how between organizations, providing information services, global and local networking opportunities and forums where people can exchange ideas and develop new market opportunities in composites.
The book is in very good condition.
