Modern engineering often requires materials that can withstand extreme temperatures, friction, and chemical attack. Ordinary metals or polymers are unable to function in such environments, they would either melt or break down. The solution to this problem is Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC). These composites are made in such a way that they contain ceramic material … Read more
In today’s world of engineering and manufacturing, the demand for lightweight, strong, and durable materials has increased significantly. Whether it’s airplanes, automobiles, or sports equipment, materials that are lightweight yet strong are needed everywhere. Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) fulfill this need. These include a polymer (a plastic-like substance) as a matrix and fibers or particles … Read more
Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) – Definition, Types, Advantages and Applications In the world of modern engineering, the use of composite materials is increasing everywhere because they are stronger, lighter and more durable than traditional metals. If metal is used as the matrix, then such a composite is called Metal Matrix Composite (MMC). MMC are increasingly … Read more
If you’re familiar with composite materials, you’ve likely heard the term “matrix material.” Composite materials are made from two or more different materials combined to form a new material that is stronger, lighter, and durable. The matrix material acts as the base framework for a composite. It holds the reinforcement in place and protects the … Read more
