Which materials is a composite?

1 answer

A composite is a material that is made up of two or more different materials with different physical or chemical properties. Some examples of composites materials are:

1. Fiberglass: made of glass fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix.
2. Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP): made of carbon fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix.
3. Kevlar: made of aramid fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix.
4. Plywood: made of thin layers of wood veneers glued together with each layer rotated 90 degrees from the next.
5. Concrete: made of cement, sand, and aggregate (such as gravel or crushed stone).
