  2. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    A sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite material that is fabricated by attaching two thin but stiff skins to a lightweight but thick core. The core material is normally low strength material, but its higher thickness provides the sandwich composite with high bending stiffness with overall low density. [34] [35]

  3. Polymer matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_matrix_composite

    In materials science, a polymer matrix composite (PMC) is a composite material composed of a variety of short or continuous fibers bound together by a matrix of organic polymers. PMCs are designed to transfer loads between fibers of a matrix.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich-structured_composite

    1) In materials science, a sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin-but-stiff skins to a lightweight-but-thick core. The core material is normally of low strength, but its greater thickness provides the sandwich composite with high bending stiffness with overall low density.

  5. Advanced composite materials (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_composite...

    The Advanced composites industry, or Advanced composite materials industry, is characterized by the use of expensive, high-performance resin systems and high-strength, high-stiffness fiber reinforcement. The aerospace industry, including military and commercial aircraft of all types, is the major customer for advanced composites.

  6. Carbon-fiber reinforced polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-fiber_reinforced...

    The high cost of carbon fiber is mitigated by the material's unsurpassed strength-to-weight ratio, and low weight is essential for high-performance automobile racing. Race-car manufacturers have also developed methods to give carbon fiber pieces strength in a certain direction, making it strong in a load-bearing direction, but weak in ...

  7. Ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high_temperature...

    The European Commission funded a research project, C 3 HARME, under the NMP-19-2015 call of Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development in 2016-2020 for the design, manufacturing and testing of a new class of ultra-refractory ceramic matrix composites reinforced with silicon carbide fibers and Carbon fibers suitable for applications in severe aerospace environments.

  8. Fiberglass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiberglass

    Pultrusion is a manufacturing method used to make strong, lightweight composite materials. In pultrusion, material is pulled through forming machinery using either a hand-over-hand method or a continuous-roller method (as opposed to extrusion, where the material is pushed through dies). In fiberglass pultrusion, fibers (the glass material) are ...

  9. Fiber-reinforced composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-reinforced_composite

    This is a type of advanced composite group, which makes use of rice husk, rice hull, rice shell, and plastic as ingredients. This technology involves a method of refining, blending, and compounding natural fibers from cellulosic waste streams to form a high-strength fiber composite material in a polymer matrix.
