RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS OF THE PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS. DEFINITION AND CLASSIFICATION OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

Abstract

Unlike conventional materials, composites have become a suitable form for a range of current applications in industry, hospital and sports. This is combined with their remarkable physical, thermal, galvanic and mechanical properties, as well as, in addition, their low weight and investment cost in the given cases. This review article attempts to provide a general concept of composite materials, definition and classification of composite materials, most commonly polymer matrix composites and metal matrix composites. Polypropylene polyurethane and aluminum alloy were selected as matrices for this extract given their attractive properties and their use in various applications. All kinds of research are devoted to a variety of building materials, material processing and various properties. The determination of mechanical data appears to be a significant iterative process in the development and design of composite materials and their components. With regard to the mechanical properties of composite materials, this article highlights some of the uncertainties and limitations that affect the evaluation of mechanical properties, ranging from material constituents, industrial process, test characteristics and environmental conditions.
