Study Notes
Composite Materials
- The principle that states a better combination of properties can be achieved by combining two or more distinct materials is the concept of composite materials.
- An example of a composite material is carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP).
Phases of Composites
- The two main phases in usual composites are the matrix phase and the reinforcement phase.
Categories of Composites
- The cheapest and most widely used category of composites are polymer matrix composites.
Properties of Composites
- The properties of composites depend on the properties of the individual constituents, their relative proportions, and the interaction between them.
