Composites are one of the most widely used materials because of
their adaptability to different situations and the relative ease of
combination with other materials to serve specific purposes and
exhibit desirable properties. In surface transportation, reinforced
plastics are the kind of composites used because of their huge
size. They provide ample scope and receptiveness to design changes,
materials and processes. The strength-weight ratio is higher than
other materials. Their stiffness and cost effectiveness offered,
apart from easy availability of raw materials, make them the
obvious choice for applications in surface transportation.
Composite materials have a wide range of properties and uses,
making them the most common building and manufacturing materials in
use today. They are created by combining two different components
in order to create a new material with different properties than
those which were started with. Concrete, fabric blends, paint,
particle board, plastics, glass and even paper are all examples of
composite materials. Metallic alloys are a different type of
composite, requiring metal ores to be combined in extreme
conditions. These metal composites are often used in items such as
utensils, ornaments, trinkets, statues and as building materials.
In 1940 fiberglass was invented and the modern era of composite
materials began. The basic premise of a modern composite material
is some sort of fiber material for the structure, and some sort of
plastic or glue to hold the shape and provide strength. These
fiber-reinforced plastic composites are used in manufacturing boat
and kayak hulls, swimming pool liners, turbine blades, sporting
goods and many other possible applications. Composite materials
distinguish themselves from other plastics products of synthesis by
characteristics which allow them properties of inalterability and
low weight, to substitute for metal pieces. Since a few years, the
market of composite materials doesn't stop growing. In the present
day scenario, use of advanced composite materials has been extended
to a large number of segments. The details of the research results
and the new development in fields are highlighted in this book. The
subject discussed the advances of specific idea and technologies.
With regards to composite materials research, the specifics
advances discussed in this book include the experimentation,
investigation and the characterization of the behavior mechanical,
physical property for new products. Advances of the use of the
composite materials to produce a new material like nano composite
and the applications are also discussed.
