Preface

The possibility to achieve any targeted sets of properties has promoted the wide application of composite materials in various industrial sectors. Composites and nanocomposites are being considered as superior materials for aerospace, transportation, sports, civil construction, medical and in many other technical sectors. Fibrous and textile materials have been extensively used in composite materials in different forms (sort fibres, tows, fabrics, mats, nanofibre webs, etc.) for reinforcing purpose or for adding various functionalities. Huge flexibility in terms of material selection, structure designing and achievable properties led to their extensive utilization in composite materials. This book focuses on the different types of fibrous and textile materials applied
