Composite material
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
Composite materials (or
composites for short) are engineering materials made from two or more components. One component is often a strong fibre such as
fiberglass,
kevlar or
carbon fibre that gives the material its
tensile strength, while another component is often a
resin such as
epoxy that binds the fibres together and renders the material stiff and rigid.
