"Nanotechnology has brought radically changes in
materials science research, creating a new era for
functional materials. Treatment of the surface using
nanotechnology facilitates the
multifunctionalization and enhances the mechanical
properties of the material. To this end, the author
studied several cases on some interesting composite
materials and demonstrated the feasibility of
nanotechnology in these non-classical composite
materials such as fabric. Application of
nanotechnology to this class of materials will have
significant practical impact to the development of a
wide range of consumer products. In addition, this
book introduces some new ideas, which would be of
interest to materials scientists and engineers." ---

Research and Development, Head, Department of
Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology.
"Written in away that scientists and engineers
would find it clear and appealing, this book offers
a balance of experimental techniques along with some
useful ideas in composite materials." --- Andrew
