Composite Materials
Combination of two or more materials
Designed to display a combination of the best
characteristics of each material
fiberglass (strength from glass and flexibility from
the polymer)
Bonded together (adhesive) or mechanically locked
together
Composite Materials
Composite = matrix + fiber
Matrix
- component that surrounds the fiber
- hold the fiber in a favorable orientation
Fiber
- reinforcing material or fillers
Classification of Composite
Materials by Matrix:
Metal Matrix
Ceramic Matrix
Polymer (Resin) Matrix
Classification of Composite
Materials by Filler Type:
Particle-reinforced composites
Fiber-reinforced composites
Structural composites
Fiber Alignment
Continuous Fibers
- Highest strength and stiffness
Discontinuous Fibers
- Used only for manufacturing economics
Fiber Alignment
