What type of polymer composites are available?

Polymer composites can be classified according to the type of MATRIX material, and the type of REINFORCEMENT material.

Because the size of the reinforcement particles, or the type and length of the fibres can be varied, and because the directions in which they can be placed within the matrix can be varied, a very wide variety of properties can be achieved. Where necessary the composite can have different properties in different directions.

When we include the possibility of changing the matrix material, it can be seen that polymer composites form a vast family of engineering materials.
