Les progrès récents en nanotechnologie ont conduit au développement d'une nouvelle classe de fibres continues à base de nanotubes de carbone (NTC). Ces fibres en NTC sont destinées à remplacer les fibres standards en raison de leurs ultra-hauts indices de performance et d'autres propriétés physico-chimiques. Tous ces avantages, hautement compétitifs, font des NTC un candidat attractif pour le renforcement de futures plaques composites. De plus, les NTC ont aussi le potentiel d'être utilisés comme capteurs pour surveiller la santé interne de ces plaques et contrôler leurs comportements statiques et dynamiques. Sur le marché mondial des composites, ces nanomatériaux suscitent un intérêt considérable pour de multiples applications révolutionnaires et prometteuses. Néanmoins, des mesures normatives restent nécessaires pour garantir que leur utilisation n¿entraîne pas des effets néfastes sur l'environnement et la santé tout au long de leur cycle de vie.

Due to their good mechanical characteristics in terms of stiffness and strength coupled with mass-saving advantage and other attractive physico-chemical properties, composite materials are successfully used in medicine and nanotechnology fields. To this end, the chapters composing the book have been divided into the following sections: medicine, dental and pharmaceutical applications; nanocomposites for energy efficiency; characterization and fabrication, all of which provide an invaluable overview of this fascinating subject area. The book presents, in addition, some studies carried out in orthopedic and stomatological applications and others aiming to design and produce new devices using the latest advances in nanotechnology. This wide variety of theoretical, numerical and experimental results can help specialists involved in these disciplines to enhance competitiveness and innovation.

By adopting the principles of sustainable design and cleaner production, this important book opens a new challenge in the world of composite materials and explores the achieved advancements of specialists in their respective areas of research and innovation. Contributions coming from both spaces of academia and industry were so diversified that the 28 chapters composing the book have been grouped into the following main parts: sustainable materials and ecodesign aspects, composite materials and curing processes, modelling and testing, strength of adhesive joints, characterization and thermal behaviour, all of which provides an invaluable overview of this fascinating subject area. Results achieved from theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations can help designers, manufacturers and suppliers involved with high-tech composite materials to boost competitiveness and innovation productivity.
