Why does carbon fibers possess such a high modulus in the direction of the fiber?
As many questions related to materials engineering, to answer that we have to understand the unit cell structure of the material, in this case, graphite.The crystal structure of graphite consists of sp2 hybridized carbon atoms arranged two-dimensionally in a honeycomb...
Composite Materials Course
WHY THIS COURSE? Composite Materials are less of a choice and more an imperative. Metals and plastics might be the right solution for many engineering challenges. However, composites increasingly allow for a new range of possibilities and solutions! In this course,...
Which was the first composite material manufactured by humans?
As you may already know, a composite material is, by definition, ''a material that is made of two or more different materials, differentiable at a microscopic level, which specific properties are better than their separated properties''. Just like any...
