COMPOSITE MATERIALS

a material composed of two or more distinct phases (matrix phase and dispersed phase) properties are significantly different .

1. 2.

Based on matrix material MMC CMC PMC Based on reinforcing material structure
Particulate composites Fibrous composites Laminate composites

PMC- polymer matrix( thermoset -UP,EP/ thermoplast-PC,PVC,Nylon) + fibrous reinforcing dispersed phase(glass, carbon,steel,Kevlar fiber..)

High tensile strength High stiffness High fracture toughness Good abrasion resistance Good corrosion resistance Low cost fabrication Simple fabrication methods

1.Mechanical properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites

A S SINGHA* and VIJAY KUMAR THAKUR Material Science Laboratory, National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur 177 005, India Methodology: 1. UF resin is prepared and its various properties have been studied 2. A new kind of green composite is synthesize and its property have been studied (UF resin + hibiscus sabdariffa) 3. Tensile, compressive, wear property were invesigated (utm,sem,wear & friction monitor) Observation: Composite having improved properties than resin

2. Magnetic properties of pmc filled with ferrite powders

J. Stabik a, A. Chrobak b, G. Haneczok c, A. Dybowska a,*Institute of Engineering Materials and Biomaterials, Silesian University of Technology, poland Aim: To study about the magnetic properties in pmc with varying amount of ferrite filler Methodology:

Epoxy resin filled with different amounts (15%, 25% and 35%vol.) of filler and 2 types of ferrite powders were prepared by gravitational casting Magnetic properties of polymeric composites were measured by SQUID magnetometer . Observation: Addition of ferrite powder to epoxy resin increases magnetic remanence

1.Iron ore+ molten Al, iron ore + Al Mg, Iron ore + Al si by vortex method. 2. As a result,Al2o3 ,mgo will be formed and iron dissolves in Al 3. Composite thus produced were cast in to cast iron die and mechanical properties are studied

Observation: The oxide particles and the un reacted particles of iron ore give sufficient improvement in strength and hardness of the composite The wear resistance has improved significantly by addition of iron ore.

2 different kinds of composites are fabricated by compression molding Poly propylene + short jute, poly propylene + short e glass fiber 2. Both of these composites have been tested for finding out its comparative mechanical properties Observation: based on number of test regarding tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural modulus, impact strength it is came to know that short jute based composite is superior than short e glass fiber composite

Ioannis G. Raftoyiannis , Department of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens Methodology:

The primary aim of the project is to examine the mechanical properties of such panels for use in secondary structural members . Composite is fabricated from polyester resin + cotton fiber Observation The tensile strength and modulus increase with increasing fiber weight ratio up to a certain amount.
