It has been used to decorate jars and other objects since ancient times, but fiberglass was invented at the 1893 Columbian Exposition when the Oenslipp Glass Company heated one end of a glass rod, pulled it out, and wound it around a spinning drum to make it into a fiber. Fiber is shaped by mechanically … Read more
Reinforcement Steel materials in composites play an important role in reinforcing the strength and stiffness of the material. In general, the selection criteria for steel materials are based on specific gravity, tensile strength, tensile stiffness, compressive strength and compressive stiffness, fatigue strength and fatigue failure mechanism, electrical and thermal conductivity, and price. Here, specific gravity … Read more
Matrix A composite material is composed of a matrix and reinforcement. First, the role of the matrix is to act as a binder to fix the fibers, transmit stress between the fibers, protect the fibers from the outside, and resist mechanical wear. The mechanical properties of the base material play an important role in the … Read more
The idea of combining two or more materials to create a material with enhanced mechanical properties not available in a single material is not a new concept. The history of composites can be traced back to the production of air-dried bricks used in the construction of the pyramids in ancient Egypt, where the bricks were … Read more
A composite material is a material in which two or more materials are combined to form physically and chemically different phases to express more effective functions. According to the structure of the reinforcing material, it is divided into fibrous composite, particulate composite, and polymer composite, metal composite, and ceramic composite according to the reinforcing material … Read more
In recent years, there has been a growing need for carbon fiber steel plastics as a lightweight, elastic composite with excellent mechanical properties to replace heavy steel and aluminum in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, construction, and sporting goods. Until now, carbon fiber has been limited to special high-end products such as motor … Read more
Carbon composites refer to materials that combine reinforcements (carbon fiber, etc.) with metals, ceramics, polymers, etc. to give them high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. Compared to other materials at high temperatures, it is the only material that has good heat resistance, is thermally stable, and maintains mechanical properties even at high temperatures of … Read more
