Modern Materials
Composite Materials
More then one materials
Combining materials to take advantage of both of the materials properties
Fibers and matrixs
Examples
Reinforced concreted
Steel bars inside the concrete
Makes the concrete far 'stronger'
Carbon fibre
MDF
Made of small fibres(particles) of wood and resin
Chipboard
Same as MDF, just larger fibres (chips) of wood and resin
Plywood
Glass reinforced plastic (glass fibre)
High strength to weight ratio
Many colors
Easy to shape
Expensive
complicated process
GRP (glass reinforced plastics) or fibre glass
Very high strength to weight ratio
Light
Easy to mold into shapes
Glass fibres that are soaked in resin
Fibre glass boats
Production can be toxic and dangerous
Carbon fiber
Weaved material like a cloth
layered together with very adhesive glue
Very high strength to weight ratio
Modern sports equipment
Bicycle frames
tennis rackets
fishing rods
Kevlar
Body armor
Car tyre with kevlar weave inserts for strength
Helps protect from impacts
Very high tensile strength to weight ratio
