Home > Composite material

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 (often called a matrix) is often a resin such as polyester or epoxy that binds the fibres together and renders the material stiff and rigid.

Examples of composite materials:

Fibre reinforced plastics:
- Glass-fibre reinforced plastic or GRP
- Carbon-fibre reinforced plastic or CRP (see carbon fiber)
metal matrix composites or MMCs
Chobham armour (see composite armour)
plywood

Composite cableIn telecommunication, a composite cable is a communications cable having both optical and metallic signal-carrying components. Note 1: A cable having optical fiber(s) and a metallic component, e. a metallic twisted pair, used solely for conduction of elec	Composite armourComposite armour is a type of armour consisting of layers of different material such as metals, plastics, ceramics or air. Most composite armours are lighter than their all-metal equivalent, but instead occupy a larger volume for the same resistance to pe	Composite numberA composite number is a positive integer with three or more divisors. Every integer (excluding one and zero) is either a prime number or a composite number. The integer 14 is a composite number because it has divisors 1, 2, 7, and 14 (four divisors).
CompositeThe term composite can refer to several different things: A composite number is an integer greater than one that is not a prime number. A composite material is a material that is made from several different elements. Examples of this include composite arm	Composite videoComposite video is the format of an analog television signal before it is modulated onto an RF carrier. It is usually in a standard format such as NTSC, PAL or SECAM.
