Where does the classical laminate theory come from? Who made the first modern fiber composite? This work in the history of materials science is the first examination of the strategies employed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in researching and developing hybrid materials. The author analyzes numerous sources which record a regular back and forth between applied design and exploratory materials engineering in building such “modular materials”. The motivations, ideas, and concepts of engineers, scientists, and other players in industry and research are also examined within the context of their day. This book presents the development and importance of composite materials within historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe content includes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of composite materials in the industrial nineteenth century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComposites in twentieth-century polymer chemistry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe development of hybrid material systems in the second half of the twentieth century\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003eThe author:\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Andreas T.
