Its formed when two or more materials are combined by bonding. The resulting material has improved mechanical, functuional and aesthetical properties as wel as an excellent strength to weight ratio.
Composite
1 of 8
This composite is made of a polyester or epoxy resin reinforced by fine fibres of glass in the form of a woven matting.
Glass-reinforced plastic
2 of 8
This composite is made up of carbon fibres which take tensile loads, set into a polymer resin matrix that takes the compressive loads.
Carbon fibre
3 of 8
Carbon fibre is much...........than glass-reinforced plastic.
Stronger
4 of 8
This composite is made from wood waste in the form of wood chips, which are subject to heat and pressure in order to soften the fibres and produce a fine, fluffy, lightweight pulp.
Medium-density fibreboard
5 of 8
Used for wind turbines, vehicle bodies and fairground rides.
Glass-reinforced plastic
6 of 8
Used for flat-pack furniture, moulds for forming presses etc.
