Overview and Recent Advancements in Composite Materials
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A continuing trend in material development is the evolution of composite materials. The composite materials being very strong and stiff, yet light in weight provide high strength to weight and stiffness to weight ratios. The designers have found the composites to have unmatched design potential, so new and better materials could be developed resulting in weight reduction, improved efficiency and overall cost reduction. Recent developments in composites include Bio composites, green composites, self-healing polymer composites, thermoplastic composites and carbon Nano tube composites. The improved material properties, like stiffness, high strength, low weight & corrosion resistance has made the composites to find vast application in industries like space craft , dentistry, pressure vessels mining, abrasive materials and cutting tools.
