1 Fibre Science and Technology

2 Soviet Advanced Composites Technology Series Series editors: J. N. Fridlyander, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia I. H. Marshall, University of Paisley, Paisley, UK This series forms a unique record of research, development and application of composite materials and components in the former Soviet Union. The material presented in each volume, much of it previously unpublished and classified until recent1y, gives the reader a detailed insight into the theory and methodology employed and the results achieved, by the Soviet Union's top scientists and engineers in relation to this versatile class of materials. Titles in the series 1. Composite Manufacturing Technology Editors: A. G. Bratukhin and V. S. Bogolyubov 2. Ceramic- and Carbon-matrix Composites Editor: V. 1. Trefilov 3. Metal Matrix Composites Editor: J. N. Fridlyander 4. Polymer Matrix Composites Editor: R. E. Shalin 5. Fibre Science and Technology Editor: V.1. Kostikov 6.

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 Professor I. Marshall and me, was born. AcademicianJ.N.
