Preface
Unprecedented growth in the applications of composite materials has been observed in the past 10 years. Many commercial aircraft and passenger cars are now using composite materials. High cost of raw materials, intense labor dependence, and property variations from batch to batch were some of the factors against composite materials in their initial years of development, which are now slowly being overcome to enable many mainstream applications. As a variety of fiber and particle reinforced polymer matrix composites find applications in bulk quantities, the quest for improved next generation composites continues. Composites with nanoscale reinforcement, commonly referred to as nanocomposites, are now a major focus area in academic and industrial research laboratories. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) are one-dimensional nanoscale fibers that have outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. CNFs have been considered for use in several specialty and commercia
