classification of composites
CFRP - carbon fibres mixed with polyester or epoxy resin
lightweight, corrosion resistant, tough, good compressive strength
GRP - glass fibres mixed with polymer resin
lightweight, corrosion resistant, good compressive strength
tungsten carbide - cermet - ceramic tungsten and cobalt metal
hard, tough, resistant to high temperatures
aluminium composite board - aluminium sheets with polyethylene core
lightweight, rigid, tough, good insulation
sound proofing panels in cars
concrete - cement powder sand mixed with water
high compression strength, consistency across structure, easy to mould
reinforced concrete - cement + low carbon steel rods
high compression and tensile strength, re resistant
fibre cement - cement powder polymer or steel fibres mixed with water
lighter than reinforced concrete, hard, tough, goood at freeze thaw situations
engineered wood - timber laminates and MF adhesive
good aesthetics, natural alternatives to reinforced concrete, fire resistant, good structural stability
