what is reinforcement and Matrix in composite materials?
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐What is a Reinforcement and Matrix in composites? Abhay 8 December 2023 The word “composite” means “consisting of two or more distinct parts”. Thus a material having two or more distinct constituent materials or phases may be considered to be a composite material. Reinforcement and the matrix are the two phases of the composite material. Reinforcement and Matrix However, we recognize materials as composites only when the constituent phases will not dissolve into one another and have significantly different physical properties, and thus the composite properties are noticeably different from the constituent properties. A material is considered as the composite material when Ezoic Combination of materials should result in significant property changes Content of the constituents is generally more than 10 % In general, the property of one constituent is much greater ( ≥ 5) than the other constituent One constituent is called the reinforcing phase and the one in which it i...
