Composite materials are engineered by fusing different materials, typically consisting of a matrix (a polymer, metal, or ceramic) and a reinforcement (such as fibers, particles, or flakes) that ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...

DarkAero 1 is a long-range, high-speed, two-person, experimental all-composite airplane. The entire airframe, made mostly from carbon fiber/epoxy, weighs about 200 pounds. Photo Credit: DarkAero ...

Composite materials are redefining what is possible in space exploration. Their high strength, light weight and versatility make them indispensable in current and future space missions. NASA’s Artemis ...
