Guide to composites - Overview of composite materials, processes and applications

The guide is comprised of independent contributions from a wide range of composites specialists, each an expert in their respective field.

The content is kept up to date and relevant, with new articles being added regularly and additional contributions are welcome in areas of composites technology and applications that are not yet covered.

Guide

1. Introduction

Looks at basic composite theory, properties of materials used, various processing techniques commonly found and applications of composite products. 2. Resin Systems

Describes how any resin system, for use in a composite material, will require several properties. 3. Coatings

Demand for protective coatings and barrier layers has increased as the FRP industry has grown. 4. Reinforcements

Reinforcement in a composite materials occurs when the mechanical properties of the neat resin system are increased. 5. Core Materials

Core materials provide a dramatic increase in stiffness for very little additional weight. 6. Repair

Explains that damaged composite structures are repairable and the basic process involved. 7. Manufacturing

Resins, fibres and cores offer many options for manufacturing composite materials. 8. Formulae
