  2. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. [1] These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual ...

    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]

  5. Polymer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures of chemicals, 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 ...

  6. Fibre-reinforced plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre-reinforced_plastic

    Fibre-reinforced plastics are a category of composite plastics that specifically use fibre materials to mechanically enhance the strength and elasticity of plastics. The original plastic material without fibre reinforcement is known as the matrix or binding agent. The matrix is a tough but relatively weak plastic that is reinforced by stronger ...

    Structure of Twaron and Kevlar.The aromatic rings appear as hexagons. The rings are attached alternately to either two NH groups or two CO groups. The attachment points on each ring are diametrically opposite each other, a characteristic of the structure called para-aramid.

  9. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

    A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) is a composite building material that consists of three components: [1] [2] the fibers as the discontinuous or dispersed phase, the matrix as the continuous phase, and; the fine interphase region, also known as the interface.
