Foam Cores
Foam cores and foam core materials are low density, high porosity materials used between structural skins to form a cored laminate with increased stiffness. Industrial foams consist of low density elastomers, plastics, or other materials with internal open or closed porosity.
Foams and Foam Materials
Foams and foam materials are industrial products made from low density elastomers, plastics, and other materials with various structures and porosities.
Composites and Composite Materials
Composites and composite materials typically consist of a matrix and a dispersed, fibrous or continuous second phase. The second phase may reinforce the material, alter electrical or magnetic properties, or enhance wear or erosion resistance.
Polymer and Plastic Composites
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.
Composite Fillers and Reinforcements
Composite Fillers and Reinforcements are additives used to extend, strengthen and/or modify plastics, composites, adhesives, coatings and other materials
