  2. IUPAC polymer nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_polymer_nomenclature

    The subunits that make up each of these structures are identified, i.e., the largest divalent groups that can be named using IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry. In the example, the two-carbon ethylidene unit is longer than two separate one-carbon methanediyl units. Figure 1. The order of subunit precedence.

  3. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    where E C is the effective composite Young's modulus, and V i and E i are the volume fraction and Young's moduli, respectively, of the composite phases. For example, a composite material made up of α and β phases as shown in the figure to the right under isostrain, the Young's modulus would be as follows: = + where V α and V β are the ...

  4. Matrix (composite) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(composite)

    The common matrices are polymers (mainly utilized for fibre reinforced plastics). The most common polymer-based composite materials which include carbon fibre, fibreglass and Kevlar, typically involve two parts at least, the resin and the substrate. [5] Asphalt concrete, which is often used in the construction of roads, has a matrix called ...

    reinforcement of composite materials (glass-reinforced plastic, glass fiber reinforced concrete) specialty papers in battery separators and filtration; Metallic fiber (1946) is used for: adding metallic properties to clothing for the purpose of fashion (usually made with composite plastic and metal foils) elimination and prevention of static ...

  6. Polymer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry , analytical ...

  7. Technical textile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_textile

    A technical textile is a textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. [1] Technical textiles include textiles for automotive applications, medical textiles (e.g., implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of embankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop protection), and protective clothing (e.g., heat and radiation protection for fire fighter ...

  8. Hybrid material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_material

    A macroscopic example is the mule, which is more suited for hard work than either of its parents, the horse and the donkey. The size of the individual components and the nature of their interaction (covalent, electrostatic, etc.) do not enter into the definition of a hybrid material. [4]
