Figure 16.1 Some examples of composite materials: (a) plywood is a laminar composite of layers of wood veneer, (b) fiberglass is a fiber-reinforced composite containing stiff, strong glass fibers in a softer polymer matrix ( 175), and (c) concrete is a particulate composite containing coarse sand or gravel in a cement matrix (reduced 50%).

A special group of dispersion-strengthened nanocomposite materials containing particles 10 to 250 nm in diameter is classified as particulate composites.
Dispersoids - Tiny oxide particles formed in a metal matrix that interfere with dislocation movement and provide strengthening, even at elevated temperatures.

Section 16.2 Particulate Composites
Rule of mixtures - The statement that the properties of a composite material are a function of the volume fraction of each material in the composite.
Cemented carbides - Particulate composites containing hard ceramic particles bonded with a soft metallic matrix.
Electrical Contacts - Materials used for electrical contacts in switches and relays must have a good combination of wear resistance and electrical conductivity.
Polymers - Many engineering polymers that contain fillers and extenders are particulate composites.

Section 16.4 Characteristics of Fiber-Reinforced
Composites Many factors must be considered when designing a fiber-
reinforced composite, including the length, diameter, orientation, amount, and properties of the fibers; the properties of the matrix; and the bonding between the fibers and the matrix.
Aspect ratio - The length of a fiber divided by its diameter.
Delamination - Separation of individual plies of a fiber-reinforced composite.

Section 16.5 Manufacturing Fibers and Composites
Chemical vapor deposition - Method for manufacturing materials by condensing the material from a vapor onto a solid substrate.
Carbonizing - Driving off the non-carbon atoms from a polymer fiber, leaving behind a carbon fiber of high strength. Also known as pyrolizing.
Filament winding - Process for producing fiber-reinforced composites in which continuous fibers are wrapped around a form or mandrel.
Pultrusion - A method for producing composites containing mats or continuous fibers.

Section 16.6 Fiber-Reinforced Systems and
Applications Advanced Composites - The advanced composites
normally are polymer–matrix composites reinforced with high-strength polymer, metal, or ceramic fibers.
Metal-Matrix Composites - These materials, strengthened by metal or ceramic fibers, provide high-temperature resistance.
Ceramic-Matrix Composites - Composites containing ceramic fibers in a ceramic matrix are also finding applications.

Section 16.8 Examples and Applications of
Laminar Composites
Laminates - Laminates are layers of materials joined by an organic adhesive.
Cladding - A laminar composite produced when a corrosion-resistant or high-hardness layer of a laminar composite formed onto a less expensive or higher-strength backing.
Bimetallic - A laminar composite material produced by joining two strips of metal with different thermal expansion coefficients, making the material sensitive to temperature changes.

Section 16.9 Sandwich Structures
Sandwich - A composite material constructed of a lightweight, low-density material surrounded by dense, solid layers. The sandwich combines overall light weight with excellent stiffness.
Honeycomb - A lightweight but stiff assembly of aluminum strip joined and expanded to form the core of a sandwich structure.
