Fibrous reinforcements and composites

← Previous Next →

Fibrous reinforcements and composites Composites refer to material systems where two or more components are united in a way that especial synergy can be observed. For the context of polymeric fibres, the term composite refers to polymer matrix composites (PMCs), where polymeric fibres are embedded into a polymeric matrix. The most well-known PMCs include composites
