Composite materials have their microstructure designed in terms of their macroscopic constituents, e.g. fibers in a homogeneous matrix material. By controlling the choice of fibers, their volume ...

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 ...

Vibration-absorbing, sound-damping materials such as sheets of rubber and expanded foam tend to be thick, bulky and soft. A ...

The Advanced Composite Materials and Textile Research Laboratory (ACMTRL) located on the University of Massachusetts Lowell campus offers your company a resource for research and testing. The ACMTRL ...

FRPs are composite materials made from a thermoset or thermoplastic polymer that is reinforced with fibre, typically carbon or glass. The main advantages of FRPs are their durability, design freedom, ...

This course elaborates on the different types of composite materials, providing an overview to those less familiar with the product. It also looks at the different materials used in composite ...

The Polymeric and Composite Materials section is committed to publishing research centered on the science and technology of polymeric and composite materials. Under the guidance of Professor Lei Zhu ...
