Find Suppliers by Category

Polymer and plastic composites are strengthened with fibers, fillers, particulates, powders and other matrix reinforcements to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Examples include fiber reinforced plastics (FRPs), sheet molding compounds (SMCs), bulk molding compounds (BMCs), pre-preg materials, and fabricated composite parts.

  • Metal-Matrix Composites
    to be isotropic, that is, to have the same properties in all directions. Some processes such as rolling, however, can impart anisotropy, so that properties vary with direction. The stress-strain behavior of monolithic metals is typically elastic-plastic. Most structural metals have considerable...
  • Thermoplastic Composites
    reinforcement also makes plastic compounds partially conductive. In compounds containing small amounts of carbon, this characteristic is useful for applications where static charges cannot be tolerated. Compounds containing higher percentages of carbon can be used for applications...
  • Hungry for large parts? Try a composite sandwich
    , dimensionally stable composite structure with a finished, attractive surface. A wide variety of colors and textures can be incorporated into STRATA's thermoformed plastic surface. The compound is suitable for automotive and light truck applications, as well as recreational vehicle tops, folding trailers...

  • Plastics go on a natural-fiber diet
    unreinforced thermoplastics have reached their limits. In a crude sense, bricks made of mud and straw are natural-fiber composites that can be traced to the dawn of civilization. In a polymer or plastic matrix, natural-fiber composites date to the early 1900s when cotton phenolics were widely used...

    will not likely come into widespread use for another 10 to 20 years. He looks into the design and testing of these materials and is also trying to develop the technology that will be required to process them. "One of the areas we are interested in is polymer (plastic) matrix composites," Varin says...
  • Fibers
    the strength-to-weight ratio of base materials such as titanium and aluminum. Anisotropic properties can be designed into a part made from a fiber composite by selectively aligning the fiber/base layup. Fibers of stainless steel or aluminum provide conductivity in plastic components for static-electricity...

The high-density composite, called Ecomass, consists of powdered tungsten dispersed in a thermo-plastic matrix. The composite provides a high level...
  • Laser Machining Fiber-Reinforced Plastics
    Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) is a composite structural material containing high-strength fibrous embedded reinforcements which develop mechanical properties greatly superior to the base polymer (called 'matrix' in this context). The fibers are usually fiberglass, carbon, or aramid (a family...
