Composites
Since the industrial revolution, innovation in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction and others has been attributed to the development of materials such as aluminum, steel, and iron. Today, growing populations and industries are further driving demand for high-performing, environmentally safe and lightweight materials. Composites materials meet these requirements and support new product design.
Composite materials are comprised of two or more distinct phases bonded together based on their individual physical and chemical properties which leads to their classifications in matrices. Composites have properties such as light weight, high strength-to-weight ratios, and resistance to chemicals, corrosion, and heat, among many others that cannot be achieved with a single material alone. Endless material combinations offer greater control over final performance characteristics. This freedom for ultimate material design opens opportunities for diverse applications across countless industries.
