Composites (Materials option)

Akopọ

Some of the highest-performing materials in the world are not single substances at all but clever combinations. A composite is made by joining two or more different materials so that the result outperforms either one alone, usually by embedding strong fibres in a surrounding material that holds them in place. From the carbon-fibre frame of a racing bike to the fibreglass hull of a boat and the tough surface of a kitchen worktop, composites let designers tailor a material to a job.

This note covers the 0445 Materials-option composites objectives: what the term composite means, how composites are classified, and their properties, environmental impact and uses. It then works through the three named composites you must understand - carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP), glass reinforced polymer (GRP) and melamine formaldehyde (MF) - with the real applications that explain why each exists.

Awọn Afojusun

  1. demonstrate knowledge of composite materials and understand their classification, properties, environmental impact and uses
  2. show an understanding of the term composite and be aware of the practical applications for each of the following composite materials: - carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) - glass reinforced polymer (GRP) - melamine formaldehyde (MF).

Akọ̀wé Ẹ̀kọ́

A composite is a material made by combining two or more different materials that stay separate and distinct within the finished material, so that the combination has better properties than any of the parts on its own. The two key parts are the reinforcement, usually strong fibres that carry the load, and the matrix, the surrounding material (often a resin) that bonds the fibres together, holds them in position, spreads the load between them and protects them. The fibres give strength and stiffness; the matrix gives shape, holds everything together and resists compression. Neither could do the job alone: loose carbon fibres are useless without a matrix, and cured resin alone is weak and brittle.
