Composites are made of _ materials?
2
9 of 39
What are those two?
reinforcement
surrounded by matrix or binder material
10 of 39
What are examples of reinforcements?
fibres or fragments of one material
11 of 39
A composites properties depends on what?
the properties of the materials it was made with
12 of 39
What are three examples of composites?
carbon fibre composite
concrete
wood
13 of 39
What is the reinforcement of a carbon fibre composite?
fibres of carbon
14 of 39
What is the matrix?
plastic resin
15 of 39
What are its two properties?
strong and light
16 of 39
Concrete is made from a mixture of sand and gravel called?
aggregate
17 of 39
Wood is made from what fibres?
cellulose
18 of 39
And has a matrix made of?
organic polymer
19 of 39
A polymer is made from joining together a large number of what?
monomers
20 of 39
The properties of a polymer depend on what two things?
the monomer its made from
the conditions used to make it
21 of 39
What two types of poly (ethene) are there?
low density
high density
22 of 39
Low density poly(ethene) is made from ethene at what type of temperature?
moderate
23 of 39
And under what type of pressure?
high
24 of 39
What properties will it have?
soft
flexible
25 of 39
High density poly(ethene) is made from ethene at what type of temperature?
low
26 of 39
What pressure?
low
27 of 39
What else does it involve?
catalyst
28 of 39
What are its properties?
hard
rigid
29 of 39
Therefore what three things can we change to change a polymers properties?
pressure
temperature
catalyst
30 of 39
What two types of polymers are there?
thermosoftening
thermosetting
31 of 39
What do thermosoftening polymers do when we heat them?
melt
32 of 39
This is because they have _____ ______ forces between the ______ strands
because they have weak intermolecular forces between the polymer strands
33 of 39
We can then ______ the polymer?
reshape
34 of 39
When we cool them down?
they go back to solid
35 of 39
Thermosetting polymer do what when we heat them?
do not melt
36 of 39
This is because thermosetting polymers have very strong what?
crosslinks between polymer strands
37 of 39
These are not broken by?
heat
38 of 39
Therefore their shape is what?
strong
rigid
hard
