Composites
Background
-
A composite is any multiphase material that exhibits a significant proportion of the properties of both constituent phases such that a better combination of properties occurs.
Properties Are a function of the properties of their phases, relative amounts and geometry of the dispersed phase.
Most composites have been created to improve mechanical properties such as stiffness, toughness, ambient and high temperature strength
Structural Composites
Multilayered, low density composite
Laminar Composite
-
Four classes : unidirectional, cross-ply, angle-ply and multidirectional
Most laminate fiber materials are: carbon, glass and aramid
Can be constructed using fabrics like cotton, paper or woven-glass fibres
Applications: aircraft, automotive, marine, building sectors
Sandwich panels
-
-
-
Applications: aircraft, construction automotive, marine.
Nanocomposite
-
Nanoparticle types: nano carbons, nano clays, particulate nanocrystal
Uniform and homogenous distribution of nanoparticles within the matrix is a large challenge for producing nano composites
