Inhaltsangabe

Thermal Spray Technology for Advanced Composite Materials presents advancements in multifunctional, sustainable, and smart materials towards enhancing performance and improving processes across a wide range of engineering fields, including renewable energy, automotive, and aerospace.

From nano-composite feedstock materials to CNT reinforcement and high entropy alloy composites, the book provides an authoritative examination of cutting-edge developments that address the limitations of traditional single-component materials. It guides readers through the complete lifecycle of composite coatings, from material selection and fabrication techniques to performance optimization and parameter control using machine learning approaches.

This book will interest researchers and graduate students studying composite materials processing and fabrication.
