9 Series preface Some years ago in Paisley (Scotland) the International Conference on Composite Materials, headed by Professor I. Marshall, took place. During the conference, I presented a paper on the manufacturing and properties of the Soviet Union's composite materials. Soviet industry had made great achievements in the manufacturing of composite materials for aerospace and rocket applications. For example, the fraction of composites (predominantly carbon fibre reinforced plastics) in the large passenger aircrafts Tu-204 and is 12-15% of the structure weight. The percentage by weight share of composites in military aircraft is greater and the fraction of composites (organic fibre reinforced plastics) used in military helicopters exceeds a half of the total structure weight. The nose parts of most rockets are produced in carbon-carbon materials. In the Soviet spacecraft 'Buran' many fuselage tubes are made of boron-aluminium composites. Carbon-aluminium is used for space mirrors and gas turbine blades. These are just a few examples of applications. Many participants at the Paisley conference suggested that the substantial Soviet experience in the field of composite materials should be distilled and presented in the form of a comprehensive reference publication. So the idea of the preparation and publication of a six volume work Soviet Advanced Composites Technology, edited by Academician J. Fridlyander and Professor I. Marshall, was born. Academician J.N.

10 Preface Polymeric composites based on continuous glass, carbon and organic fibres have found wide application in many branches of modern engineering. High-strength and high-modulus reinforced plastics possess a unique combination of mechanical technological and service properties. They differ from other traditional structural materials in the fact that the design of composite components and articles cannot be carried out separately from the design and development of the initial materials, beginning with the selection and preparation of raw materials. The above-mentioned features and also the factor of the free variation of composite properties over the whole complex of technical and theoretical problems associated with composite development, design and production, i.e. the study of their properties, reveal their potential. In the modern scientific and technical literature, editions of complex character that provide the specialist with the necessary information are rather rare. This book (Volume 4 of the series) gives the basic principles of the development of high-strength high-modulus composites in Russia. A wide spectrum of problems has been considered, associated with the synthesis of the initial components (binders and reinforcing fillers), the development of formulations, the study of the properties of glass-, carbon- and organic-fibre-reinforced plastics, and the peculiarities of hybrid composites design. Definite types of reinforced materials widely used in the Russian aerospace industry and other branches of engineering and national economy are considered. The data presented can serve as a useful information source for scientists, industrial engineers and designers working in this advanced materials science field, and also for representatives of industry and business dealing with the production and application of micro-reinforced and hybrid composite articles.
