2. Composite material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

   The first artificial fibre reinforced plastic was a combination of fiber glass and bakelite, performed in 1935 by Al Simison and Arthur D Little in Owens Corning Company [15] One of the most common and familiar composite is fibreglass, in which small glass fibre are embedded within a polymeric material (normally an epoxy or polyester). The ...

3. Composite construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_construction

   This material is typically made from wood–plastic composite or fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP). Such materials do not warp, crack, or split and are as versatile as traditional pressure treated wood. Composite decking is made through several different processes, and there are a multitude of sizes, shapes, and strengths available.

4. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

   Theoretically, the strength of a material with no dislocations will be extremely high because plastic deformation would require the breaking of many bonds simultaneously. However, at moderate dislocation density values of around 10 7 -10 9 dislocations/m 2 , the material will exhibit a significantly lower mechanical strength.

5. Scientists made see-through wood that's stronger than glass - AOL

   The result is a material that is both stronger and more insulating than glass, with better biodegradability than plastic. "We were very surprised by how transparent it could go," said Liangbing Hu ...

6. Strength of glass - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_glass

   Glass fibers have a much higher tensile strength than regular glass (200-500 times stronger than regular glass). [7] This is due to the reduction of flaws in glass fibers [8] and the small cross sectional area of glass fibers, constraining maximum defect size.

7. Poly(methyl methacrylate) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)

   PMMA is also known as acrylic, acrylic glass, as well as by the trade names and brands Crylux, Hesalite, Plexiglas, Acrylite, Lucite, and Perspex, among several others . This plastic is often used in sheet form as a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. It can also be used as a casting resin, in inks and coatings, and for many ...

8. Transparent wood composite - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_wood_composite

   Some have better mechanical properties than wood itself. They were made for the first time in 1992. These materials are significantly more biodegradable than glass and plastics. [1] [2] [3] Transparent wood is also shatterproof, making it suitable for applications like cell phone screens. [4] A video of transparent wood produced with a DIY ...
