Inorganic composite materials in Japan: Status and trends
Japan's high performance composite research activities and applications are reviewed by six authors who teamed as a study group in September 1988 to assess selected research areas of composite activities. The article focuses on metal and ceramic matrix composites and high temperature ceramic reinforcements, excluding carbon fibers and polymer matrix composites. It is the intention of the article to capture the current trends and scientific accomplishments of university, government research laboratories and, to a lesser extent, selected industrial laboratories in the research areas. In addition, an interpretation and forecast of future directions is considered in each topic area based on current activities and perceived trends.
