Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
As explained in my 2023 feature on ceramic matrix composites (CMC), the market for these high-temperature materials is growing. While technical ceramics are resistant to high temperatures (up to ...
These 'polymer alloy' composition changes have enabled the creation of materials with optimized toughness, processability, chemical resistance, and cost structures. Polymer blends and polymer alloys ...
