Polymer and plastic composites are plastics which are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples ...

Composites are made from two or more constituent materials, each with different properties. When combined, they create a material with properties greater than the sum of its parts. Examples include ...

There are three basic types of composites and composite materials: polymer matrix composites (PMC) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) metal matrix composites (MMC) Most industrial composites use a resin ...

The CDT will explore the design freedoms and weight savings offered by reinforced polymer, metal and ceramic-based composite materials in a mission to make them key enablers for the UK’s journey to ...

In an article published in Polymers, researchers prepared plant-filled polymer composites using highly plasticized PVC, investigating their structural, thermal, and mechanical properties to enhance ...
