Machining of Nanocomposites

Description

Machining of nanocomposites emphasizes on different fabrication methods to develop nanocomposites (polymers, metals, and ceramics) and different machining processes used in industries. It describes issues, challenges and associated research trends and evaluates mechanical and wear properties of the composites as well.
