Composites and Fibers
materials
Matrix:
– polymer-based resins
- thermoset/thermoplastic resins
Reinforcement: - Polymers, ceramics, metals,Fibers, particulates, or whiskers ( fibers : long, short / continous)
-
Matrix: rigidity, tough, environmental
resistance
Types of composites
Metal matrix composites
Increasingly found in the automotive industry,
-
as the matrix, and reinforce it with fibres such as silicon carbide
-
-
Concept of composites
dispersed, non-continuous, phase: the
reinforcement
(fiber, sheet or particle)
a bulk phase:continuous, called the matrix(resin/polymer)
